The Estate Pinot Noir is sourced purely from our five preferred clones on the estate. The 2021 blend comprises of clones 777 (33%), D5V12 (33%), Martini (24%) and MV6 (10%).

The vibrant palate is dominated by strawberry and plum with hints of wet earth and spice in the background. A defined acid line and fine tannins provide a tight, structured palate that finishes with a dusting of soft, charry oak.

Bouquet: Subtle red fruits, quince and plum are balanced with savoury earthy notes and spice.

2021 was widely considered to be an excellent vintage across South Australia and the Piccadilly Valley was no exception with healthy, balanced vines producing a crop with impressive flavour and concentration. Ideal conditions at flowering allowed good fruit set and several rain periods in late January/early February ensured adequate soil moisture levels, optimum conditions for berry development. The final stages of ripening were slowed by cool temperatures, resulting in ideal conditions for flavour development.
