2024 Deviation Road Pinot Noir

VINTAGE + VINEYARD | Above average rainfall and cool summer. Cool and dry conditions allowed us to keep fruit on the vines for longer to give greater complexity and flavour. This wine is produced from 16 year old Estate fruit, grown on a warmer western slope at 350m altitude. The rows run East West, preventing sunburn from late afternoon sun. We have been restoring organic matter to build up the top soil as it is very shallow. The top soil lies over layers of acidic clay and broken shale.
 

WINE MAKING | Four Pinot clones were hand picked into small baskets with a small parcel set aside for whole bunch ferment to enhance the extraction of colour and aromatics. After fermentation the skins are pressed out using our traditional basket press and the wine aged in French oak barriques for 10 months. After this period, we blend our finest parcels and hand bottle on-site.
