2021 Limited Release Pinot/ Syrah (50:50)... 95 pts Gary Walsh (The Wine Front) LAST FEW CASES
Winemaking: Syrah hand picked off mature vines on degraded Basalt soils from Kangaroo Ground - 25% whole bunch and ferment sealed with ‘no touch’ for two weeks then light extraction with pump overs - 24 days on skins. Pinot from TaT Wines vineyard (Badger Creek) was from a 100% whole bunch ‘no touch’ ferment drained into one hogshead (1yo). Natural ferment. Minimal sulphur added prior to bottling. No fining or filtration.
Only 750 bottles made.
TWF (Gary Walsh) Review 95pts:
“Meaty, spicy, peppery, perfumed, black cherry and juniper berry. It’s medium-bodied, juicy but tight, packed with fine slate-like tannin, freshness and vigour, and a long meaty but clean acid finish. Excellent. Tastes kind of like a cru Beaujolais, as a frame of reference.”
Alcohol: 12.7% v/v
pH: 3.51
TA: 5.7 g/L
Region: Yarra Valley
minimum order 6 bottles - straight or mixed
