Description
Kooyong Estate Pinot Noir comprises fruit from the Meres, Haven and Ferrous blocks. It offers an overall expression of the Kooyong vineyard.

Minimal intervention. Fermentation of all wines occurs spontaneously with native ambient yeasts. This is also the case for the malolactic fermentations. French oak is used for all barrel matured wines, bottled unfined and unfiltered.

The expressive nose reveals a delightful combination of black and red cherry, raspberries, muted smoky aromas, while the palate offers up a supple mid-palate weight that is framed by fine tannins. Intense floral flavours and a hint of oak spice complete the picture, creating an enjoyable and elegant Pinot Noir that will cellar nicely.

Kooyong

Kooyong is planted to 40 hectares of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris between an altitude of 105 and 120m above sea level. The first vines were planted in 1996 and the original blocks comprise five distinct sites Faultline, Farrago, Meres, Haven & Ferrous of which three are planted to Pinot Noir and two to Chardonnay.

The cultural practices of Kooyong respect and nurture the inherent character of each of the vineyard sites. All vines are hand cane pruned in Winter. In Spring, shoot thinning removes excess shoots and optimises canopy density. The best section of each vineyard is reserved for the Single Vineyard wines.

The soils of Kooyong are distinctive. The bedrock found at depth is sedimentary: an ancient weathered sandstone dating back to the Ordovician period some 450 million years ago. The surface soils are sedimentary also, only this time laid down by a marine incursion which occurred during the Miocene epoch 5-10 million years ago.
