2018 Petrichor Coal River Valley Single Vineyard Pinot Noir An intense cherry style of pinot featuring exemplary oak handling. The structure matches the powerful fruit perfectly. ★★★★☆

2018 Petrichor Coal River Valley Single Vineyard 777 Clone Pinot Noir Very pale colour. A slight stems complexity enhances the fresh red fruits. The palate is of adequate weight, balanced by fine tannins. ★★★★

2018 Single Vineyard Coal River Valley Pinot Noir 30% Whole Bunch

A mix of clones, cold-soaked and fermented in open stainless steel, 10 months in older french barriques. Aromas of cherry and sweet spice but also more earthy characters like beetroot. Sweet-fruited by tangy on the palate, quite mouthfilling and with good length. Screwcap. 13% alc Rating: 93 To: 2025

2018 Single Vineyard Coal River Valley Pinot Noir 50% Whole Bunch

All clone 777, 50% whole bunch, cold-soaked, open fermented with wild yeast. Oak handling as with the 30% release. Rather pale and lacking clarity in the glass. Much stronger whole-bunch influence here: stemmy, green characters prevailing on the bouquet. Riper on the palate and again there’s sweetness to the fruit, the flavours softening towards the finish. 13% alc Rating: 91 To: 2025

2017 Single Vineyard Coal River Valley Pinot Noir

Clone D2V5 from a single vineyard. Wild-fermented with 40% whole bunches, matured in old French barriques; 576 bottles made. Very good colour, likewise varietal character and purity. Simple now but will develop complexity with a few years in bottle, its balance the key to the future. Diam. 13% alc Rating: 93 To: 2030
