WHY WE LOVE THIS WINE

The 2018 wines are ample testament to the coming of age of the Mornington Peninsula as one of the world’s great Pinot Noir regions.

2021 JAMES HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION

A smudge of medicinal cherry to uber-ripe strawberry scents are pushed along by a scrape of tannin, vanillin oak and gentle acidity.

TASTING NOTES

Amedium-bodied wine with bright cherryflavoursand silky-smooth tannin. It has excellent depth of colour and flavour with a touch of spicy oak complexity.

SEASON

There were few hot days, but the summer nights were balmy and overall the season was a warm one. Vintage arrived early and with a bang, with different varieties ripening in close succession

WINEMAKING

The fruit is from two vineyards to the north of the region, including Handpicked’s flagship Capella Vineyard. The fruit was hand-picked and chilled overnight before being destemmed and sorted by hand. The must was fermented in small open fermenters with hand plunging. The wine was matured for 11 months in a mix of old and new French oak barrels from selected Burgundian coopers.

THE REGION

Mornington Peninsula

A maritime region about 50km south-east of Melbourne. It is surrounded by ocean and the climate is moderated year-round, with cooling ocean breezes in summer and relatively mild winters.

Soils vary from the red volcanic earth on the spine of hills running down the centre of the peninsula to grey clay loams on the plains.
