93+ Points – The Wine Front
“There’s a prettiness to this, and a power. This is impressive. Strawberries and cherries, some musk-like notes, ample woodsy spice and general leaf notes. Oak adds silk, along with a subtle smokiness. There’s a completeness to this.”
– Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front 2023

Tasting Notes: This Estate Pinot opens with a wealth of red cherry, raspberry and red plum fruits. Earthy notes with an element of dried herb and rosemary. The palate shows a similar fruit profile, yet with nice suede tannins and spiced nuts. This wine flows well with a delicate freshness. A great year for Yarra Valley Pinot.

Vinification & Elevage: Partially destemmed as whole berries, 10% of fruit was fermented as whole clusters. On skins for 2 weeks then pressed to French oak (10% new) for malolatic conversion, aged in oak for 10 months on lees prior to bottling.

About Rochford Wines

Rochford Wines begins with owner and CEO Helmut Konecsny, who has always been the driving force behind this dynamic wine business since first purchasing the land in 2002. A family business at heart, Helmut’s passion for Yarra Valley wine, great food, service and entertainment has seen Rochford expand exponentially over the years.

After many years in the corporate world both in Australia and overseas, Helmut purchased a vineyard in Macedon Ranges where the concept for Rochford Wines first began. While still commuting to his corporate obligations and managing the vineyard, the opportunity to purchase ‘Eyton on the Yarra’ came to Helmut’s attention. With its old vine plantings, proximity to Melbourne and Highway frontage, the potential to develop the site into something truly special was immediately apparent. And so, Rochford Wines of the Yarra Valley was born.

Now producing award-winning wines, Rochford encompasses three vineyard sites, two restaurants, a weddings and functions venue and a huge 12,000 capacity outdoor concert amphitheater. The dreams Helmut had for Rochford Wines are being realized; A place that captivates the senses and provide memorable experiences for all who visit.
