2022 St Huberts Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir

We were so excited to get our hands on this fruit…! A single vineyard wine grown at the renowned Robinson vineyard at Tuerong on the Mornington Peninsula. Handpicked fruit was gently destemmed to an open “pot” fermenter. A portion (around 15%) whole bunch was added to the ferment. Pressed just prior to dryness for some barrel fermentation, then maturation in French oak barriques for around 9 months. A “smaller” wine in the St Hubert’s Pinot portfolio, but a wine of lovely fragrance, complexity and length.

On the nose, fragrant sour cherry, graphite, and flinty gun smoke. A hint of rosewater with sappy stalk notes and spicy French oak.
