About This Wine

As Stu has been working with the Willowlake vineyard since 2014 he has a certain affection for the site. referring to the fruit there as being "in the Goldilocks Zone, a great site, managed sustainably by amazing people and whilst the fruit is under enough stress to produce intense concentrated characters the fruit is cared for enough to manage this stress." 200 metres above sea level old vine MV6 is planted on grey clay-loam over red volcanic that provides exceptional drainage. All in all, a stunning well-spring of Pinot Noir. 

The fruit was split into two batches with 75% being fermented entirely as whole bunch whilst the other 25% destemmed. Once wild fermentation was complete the two batches were blended back for elevage in predominantly old oak. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
