2023 Block 3 Pinot Noir

Block 3 is a mix of Pinot Noir clones 114 and 115, which produce fragrant and delicately textured wines. Fermentation was carried out in a single 4-tonne open-top fermenter, with the inclusion of 25% whole bunches. After 12 days on skins, the wines showed intense floral and earthy aromas, with excellent colour and soft, supple tannins. The wine was barrelled down to 2- and 3-year-old French oak and matured for 10 months prior to bottling.
