Wine Summary Image

The Pinot noir vines were sourced from Western Victoria in 1971. This material was acquired before individual clonal selections were considered, and as such, our Pinot blocks are a mix of many clones. A visiting French ampelographer (vine expert) once told John Middleton that there were in the order of 30+ clones in our original Pinot block. Subsequent plantings of Pinot on this site have been selections from the original block, and the clonal selection has been somewhat refined.

In the winery the emphasis is on simplicity. By today’s standards, relatively short fermentations are employed, typically 7 days, with no cold soaks or post fermentation maceration. This is followed by 22 months of barrel maturation, with 25% of the blend in large format oak (1500L or larger), and 15% in new barriques (225L).

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Aroma

The Pinot starts with sweet aromas of strawberries and cream, mixed with sour cherries, stewed fruit and some savoury elements.

Palate

The palate continues the mix of sweet and savoury flavours with hints of bread or toast. The flavours are complimented with balanced light phenolics and a long pleasant finish.

Food Matching

This Pinot will partner perfectly with rustic dishes such as coq au vin, particularly after a few years of bottle age.

Winery Profile

The pinot noir vines, originally acquired from Western Victoria in 1971 before individual clonal selections were considered, are planted on sandy clay loams overlaying degenerating Silurain shales.

A relatively short seven day fermentation in 70% open pot and 30% stainless steel static fermenters takes place. This is followed by 12 months barrel maturation in 15% new French oak barriques and seasoned oak, including 30% in large format casks. A further 10 months barrel maturation occurs in seasoned oak barriques.

The wine is typified by fragrant strawberry, cherry aromas and a supple, evenly proportioned palate. It is bottled with Diam closures to allow vital oxygen exchange for the development and maturation of tannins.

Cellar Condition

Provenance; “Place of origin; derivation”

  • The history of the ownership of an object, especially when documented or authenticated. Used for Artworks, Antiques, and Wine.
  • The records or documents authenticating such an object or the history of its ownership.

Whenever you buy wine there is an inherent risk, as wine is a perishable good regardless of whether it is sealed under cork or screwcap. At GraysOnline we minimise the risk to you by providing as much information as possible regarding the provenance of the wine we sell.

We take the time to individually inspect each bottle and photograph it so you know exactly what you are buying. All Private Cellar wine stored at GraysOnline is kept in a temperature controlled wine storage area. Any wine that doesn’t meet our quality standards will not be sold.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 5 star designation are recognised as being of proven quality provenance, our team has verified that the wine has been stored correctly from original purchase straight from the winery, documentation, where possible, has been sighted and cellaring conditions have been inspected. This wine generally comes from only the best and most respected of wine collectors in Australia.

★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 4 star designation have been cellared correctly as verified by the current owners. In general these wines have been purchased from retailers or traders and stored in cellared conditions from original purchase.

★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 3 star designation are in good condition when we inspect and we are able to confirm some cellaring conditions but we are unable to verify all ownership and storage conditions of their history.

A wine displaying no stars doesn’t mean that there is a problem with the wine, it simply means that we have been unable to verify provenance, however a quality image is always available for the purchaser to make their own purchasing decisions.

Private Cellar wine is wine which has been stored for aging purposes in a Private Cellar.

Storing the wine and allowing it to age has the potential to improve the quality of the wine. While wine is perishable and capable of deteriorating, storing the wine can alter the aroma, colour, mouthfeel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster.
