Tasting Notes
The 2023 Wide Open Road Pinot Noir has a dark red purple hue, indicating the intensity of the 2023 vintage. Aromas of dark cherry, plum, five spice and a whiff of iodine minerality really open up with a little air. The palate has richness and depth with black cherry, red plum, cardamom and cedar characters matched with powdery fine tannins and fleshy texture.
Winemakers Note
The 2023 Wide Open Road is sourced from our Mount Barker
vineyard, which is exclusively clone 115.
Moderate crop levels and excellent growing conditions (cool, dry) achieved great typicity and natural acidity. We hand -
picked a component for whole bunch fermentation.
In the winery the we destemmed to open top fermenters with
approximately 10% whole bunches. The wild yeast ferments were slow and cool, hand plunged and lasted 12 days before pressing.
Wild malolactic fermentation then occurred in puncheon (500L) and
the wine was stored on lees (sediment) for 3 months. Clears were racked off the top and the wine was bottled without filtration.
