Our Notes
An exotic, savoury Pinot Noir from the Yarra Valley's highest vineyard. A special bottle for duck or mushroom dishes.
From the Winery
Wombat Creek is the highest-altitude vineyard in the Yarra Valley, ideal for extreme cool-climate wines. First planted in 1988 to make sparkling base wine, it has gradually moved to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for table wine. Its ferrous red volcanic soil and rock give a soft yet long, firm palate, in contrast to the finer wines of the nearby basalt-based Applejack Vineyard. The site produces exotic Pinot Noir with a savoury, spicy side.
Picked as one very small parcel, the fruit was chilled and 2% destemmed into the base of an oak vat to start a “pied de cuve” ferment. The vat was then filled with whole bunches and closed for carbonic fermentation. Once fermentation began, daily délestage by gravity managed the cap, with occasional foot stomping to release juice and extend skin contact. After two weeks it was pressed to new and used 228L tight-grain French barriques for eight months (20% new, 80% older), then bottled by gravity without fining or filtration.
