Tasting Notes

Kooyong Estate Pinot Noir comprises fruit from our Meres, Haven, Ferrous and Nord blocks and as such offers an overall expression of the Kooyong vineyard, with parcels of fruit from various soils and mesoclimates blended to create the Estate label. Each year the same parcels are consistently chosen, giving this wine an underlying likeness across vintages. The fruit was fermented in a combination of large-format oak vats, large-format concrete tanks and open top stainless-steel fermenters. Fermentation commenced spontaneously with ambient yeasts, included a proportion of whole bunches and lasted 16 to 18 days. Following fermentation, the wine was pressed and racked into French oak barriques (14% of which were new) and puncheons and underwent indigenous malolactic fermentation. The maturation period was 12 months. The wine was bottled without fining and with minimal filtration. The aroma offers an opulent expression of dark and red cherry fruit, followed by a touch of crushed strawberry and pomegranate. A hint of blood orange peel and earth spice provide complexity, and a touch of toasty oak just hovers in the background framing the wine. The palate is awash with red spectrum fruits, cherry, raspberry and fruits of the forest. The tannins are supportive to the fruit and form a fine structure that runs along the palate. A bright acid line provides length and brightness to the finish. While drinking well now this wine will benefit with cellaring over the medium term.
