Our Pinot is made in a true burgundian style,with a percentage of whole bunch maceration and then ageing in quality French barriques for one year. The 2006 vintage is smooth and delicate, displaying sour cherry and plum fruit characters and is well balanced with soft tannins and good acid levels. It will drink well now or benefit from a few years of cellaring.It is lovely with pasta dishes or a roast. This wine's pedigree includes Gold and Silver Medals and two trophies, and an award for the "Best Red Wine of the Year"(Canberra Times).

A medium-bodied wine with lovely berry fruit characters and a depth of complexity enhanced by a firm tannin and acid structure. Inclusion of 30% merlot provides a smooth mouth feel for early drinking. Maturation has been in American and French oak for one year. It will drink well at an early age and will be excellent after cellaring a few years.
