A wonderful example of Mornington Pinot Noir.
Fruit was sourced from the Mrs Nicks vineyard in Balnarring and Rivendel in Merricks North.
Dense and complex with a concentrated but fine palate.

Description
Fruit was sourced from the Mrs Nicks vineyard in Balnarring and Rivendel in Merricks North. Mrs Nicks was planted to MV6 in 1998 on a gently south facing hill of chocolate brown sandy loam. Rivendel, planted in the same year, is a mix of D5V12 and Pommard clones of pinot noir on grey sandy loam and is the same vineyard that our 2007 Mornington Peninsula wine came from. Aromas of raspberry, red currant and pomegranate as well as morello cherry, rhubarb, thyme and allspice. The palate is ripe, chewy and rich without being heavy or sweet. It is bright, textured and lively.
