Press ReviewPress

It’s made to be a ‘bistro’ pinot noir, but it’s a more serious wine than that. Each release seems to outdo the previous one too. Very similar to the 2007 but with an extra dollop of fruit, rose-like sweetness fleshing it out. An excellent wine – we’re more than happy to wrap our chops around this. Lots of dry tannin with minerally, sophisticated edges. Good length. And a feeling that it’s all young and tight – this is a wine with a future. Drink 2010-2014. 92 points

Campbell Mattinson & Gary WalshThe Big Red WIne Book 2010

Redcurrants, rhubarb, stewed black cherries, pert acid, dry tannins, dark fruit core with good concentration and a sprinkling of spice over the finish.

Sandro Mosele is regarded as a “guru” or “gun” rather than a “celebrity” winemaker. Whatever he makes seems to gain instant cred and the wines just are.... instantly credible. This Pinot has the perfect combo (for this price) of Kiwi generosity and the Burgundy style. With big dark cherry fruits combining with beetroot characters, this shows its Mornington personality and a plump face early, but it’s all nicely shapes by persistent structure and a nice mineral tingle. It will be interesting to see if this develops a bit more and shows additional complexities – but it’s just going to be a bit hard to keep your mitts off it to find out!

David RidgeThe Adelaide Review, June 2010

Winemaking

The 2008 vintage was characterised by an early start and above average yields. A hot week experienced in March had a pronounced effect on the fruit yet to be picked. Fortunately, the vast majority of our fruit had already been harvested. The unseasonably cool February greatly enhanced the aromatic qualities of wines harvested prior to the heat, making these some of the most expressive and individualistic wines made yet. 100% destemmed and fermented in open vats without innoculation. Matured for 12 months in French oak (15% new) Estate grown fruit is now supplemented by specially selected purchased parcels of fruit. The trellis type is Vertical Shoot Position (VSP)
