Grape: Pinot Noir
Above-average winter and spring rainfall offered the vines in the Adelaide Hills healthy soil moisture profiles for the growing season. The annual rainfall was the highest recorded since 1992. Cool days and cooler nights slowed vine growth in early spring with temperatures warming in October.
The lower than average temperatures and abundant rainfall during the growing season and veraison produced a vintage that challenged both winemakers and viticulturists alike. The late flowering and veraison delayed the pinot noir harvest by several weeks. Weather conditions during ripening were generally dry with prevailing conditions favouring fully ripened grapes with well-developed colours and flavours.

Savoury aromas of truffle and wild thyme with hints of paprika are paired with sweeter notes of raspberry and cinnamon. The palate holds fruit notes of cranberries and wild strawberries as well as meaty game, herbs and spices and finally a creamy oak touch with cedar and char.
