2023 Woodlawn Park Vineyard Pinot Noir

Established on our family farm, the home of the winery this is our largest site.

The soils are free draining aeoilian sands, on a gentle slope facing north, the ancient outside bend of the river, with incredible views north over Swan Bay where the prevailing breezes arrive cooling the vines each afternoon in this moderate micro climate.

Planted to MV6, Pommard, 115, Abel we have great mix of flavour profiles to work with here. 115 is picked super early, looking for brightness, whilst our largest block of MV6 sees a few different cultural treatments to allow us to find complexity. Pommard is savoury from this site, and Abel is fleshy and juicy. Lots of small ferments and these remain separate until a small selection of barrels make the final blend. 11 months in french oak, mostly second & third fill.
