Kooyong Estate Pinot Noir comprises fruit from our Meres, Haven and Ferrous blocks. It offers an overall expression of the Kooyong vineyard, with parcels of fruit from various soils and mesoclimates blended to create the Estate label. Each year the same parcels are consistently chosen, giving this wine an underlying likeness across vintages.
The fruit was fermented in a combination of large-format oak foudre, large-format concrete tanks and stainless-steel tanks. Fermentation commenced spontaneously with ambient yeasts, included a proportion of whole bunches and lasted 16 to 18 days. Following fermentation, the wine was pressed and racked into French oak barriques (20% of which were new) and puncheons and underwent indigenous malolactic fermentation. The maturation period was 12 months. The wine was bottled without fining and with minimal filtration.
The expressive nose reveals bright and pure aromas of black/red cherry and raspberry together with a smoky mineral edge. The palate has focus and direction, with supple mid-palate weight, and is framed by fine tannins. Intense floral flavours and oak spice coat the freshly acidic finish. Youthful and enjoyable now, this wine will significantly reward time in the cellar.
