This single vineyard wine from our home vineyard in Derril Road is further evidence of what our fine vineyard site and mature vines can produce in a really good year. It includes some wine from interesting clones grafted onto our old Cabernet vines (planted in 1983).
17 months French Oak, 25% new
"he most savoury of the Moorooduc Estate pinots this vintage (no Garden Vineyard made, assuming due to low yields) yet still a core of ripe fruit, and it's open-knit. Some poached rhubarb, cherry compote and blood orange plus zest, an array of baking spices and fresh basil. Tannins are plump and pliable, the acidity refreshing and mouth-watering. It feels calm and calming. A lovely wine.." 95 pts Jane Faulkner  James Halliday Wine Companion
