‘L‘Enfant Unique’ translates into English as ‘The Only Child’ and we have named this wine for its focus and unique characters that are derived from Blocks 2 and 3 on our Hill Road Vineyard in Coldstream, Yarra Valley.

Winemaking Notes: Hand-picked 12th March

Vinification & Elevage: Wild yeast fermented as 60% whole berries and 40% as whole bunches, on skins for 3 weeks. Pressed to barrel (25% new French oak) for natural malolactiv conversion, sulphured on lees in oak for 10 months.

Viticultural Notes: Pinot Noir clones: D5V12 and MV6

2020 was a long and cool growing season in the Yarra Valley. Winter rains were substantial and by the end of spring we had full and healthy vine canopies. The conditions around flowering were challenging leading to low fruit yields. The season progressed with very mild conditions extending the ripening period for harvest well into Autumn for some varieties. The 2020 wines reflect our part of the world and our cool climate.

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.
