Nikau - Tonimbuk Pinot Noir
45 year old vines make this one of the oldest pinot vineyards in Victoria. The vines are canepruned and grown on weathered granite in a spectacular and isolated location. The site has been organically farmed since 2019 when Dane started renting it. The vineyard sits on the valley floor surrounded by 50,000 hectares of state forest. Comprised
of old volcanic hills and large granite outcrops. It is the gravels and sediments of these features that have slowly made their way down to form the base that these vines now grow from.
100% hand destemmed fruit into a single fermenter, cold soaked
and then left for approximately 10 days after ferment began. Pressed to stainless steel where the wine remained until bottling. There was no movement of the tank, no racking, no pumps, no adds at any stage.
344 bottles produced.
