2024 Coolart Road Pinot Noir
2024 Coolart Road Pinot Noir
A wonderful example of Coolart and the ‘down the hill’ style Pinot. Spice and raspberry coulis are plentiful on the nose before you delve into a more floral, blackcurrant and umami palate. These flavours work magically with the small portion of this wine that has been whole bunch fermented, which create a sultry feel with a chewy savoury tannin edge.

Other Notes
After a wet spring, the 2024 season gave ample sunlight and ideal ripening conditions across all varieties. Phenological ripeness was uniform and flavours although delayed, were abundant in great concentrations.

Winemaker Notes
Handpicked and hand sorted into a mixture of concrete 71% and stainless steel 29% fermenters with the use of 20% whole bunch overall.
A cold soak for 4-5 days before wild yeast fermentation with an average of 18 days on skins. The wine was then pressed to tank and racked to barrel keeping all the individual parcels separate, where they underwent natural malolactic fermentation. Aged in a combination of old and new barriques and puncheons.

Tasting Notes
Boasts of spice, redskin and raspberry are plentiful on the nose before you delve into a more floral, blackcurrant and unami palate. These flavours work magically with the whole bunch that create a chewy and sticky tannin edge that offer a sultry feel overall and an instant gravitation towards wanting more.
