Our Holly range is the best we produce. As our reserve range, named after the owners’ daughter, they are a stand out medal winners vintage to vintage.
This wine is harvested from the very best parcels of fruit on our Home Estate, typically from low yielding vines on the lowest vigor areas within the vineyard.
Deep purple, with a ruby crimson flash. The bouquet is a weave of dark-berry fruits, Black Doris plums, cocoa and baking spice, with a hint of herbaceousness. Medium- full-bodied, the palate is structured around the combination of whole bunch and oak tannins, defined by a clear acid line. Ripe dark fruit and spice are complemented by an earthy undertone and an elegant balanced finish.
Hand-picked, this one tonne of Abel clone Pinot Noir made its way to the winery on 17thMarch 2021. Sugar levels at an optimum 25° Brix. The intact bunches were sorted and placed into an open top fermenter, where they were gently pigéaged to encourage the native yeasts from the vineyard to begin fermentation. Throughout fermentation, the temperatures were regularly monitored, and minimal punch downs utilized to ensure a clean ferment. After 3 weeks on skins, the free run was placed on 2nd fill French oak where it stayed for 14 months. No additives, no fining, no filtration. Just fermented grape juice!
