2021 Willowlake Pinot Noir

Sourced from the Willowlake vineyard, the 2021 Willowlake Pinot Noir is bright ruby red and bursts with juicy red fruits and soft spice. The palate is full of flavour with the generous red fruits shining and darker blue fruits adding a layer of complexity. The tannins fan out across the palate which help to complete an elegant, yet powerful wine.

Winemaking and Tasting Notes

The Pinot Noir grapes come from the renowned Willowlake vineyard in Gladysdale in the upper Yarra Valley - a vineyard we have been making wine from for many years. It is an exceptional site and always produces delicious consistent Pinot Noir fruit. This pretty, aromatic Pinot Noir is, we feel, an interesting counterpoint to the richer, more powerful Siwa Pinot Noir we make from the Kellybrook site.

This wine was made using cold soaking followed by whole berry and whole bunch fermentation techniques. After pressing off, the dry wine was run off to 25% new French oak barrels for maturation. The wine matured for 9 months prior to blending and sending unfiltered to bottle in January 2022.
