The Estate Vineyard at Dixons Creek in the Yarra Valley was first planted in 1971 and has undergone expansions and replanting over nearly 50 years. Our goal is to leave it in a better place for the generations to come. The Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir is made from the five plots predominantly east and south facing slopes. Beautifully perfumed and ethereal, blue fruits, sandalwood and violets. Bright vibrant flavours, supple, seamless and with lovely tension.

There''s nothing showy about this release. When you first open it there''s a hit of cedary, spicy, polished (almost chocolatey) oak, but the fruit beneath seems surly, even grumpy. It''s not a bad way for a young pinot noir to be; it takes a bit of time to get to know it. Fruit is dense, dark, black cherried and pure, though assertive tannin keeps it rigidly in place. Even so, particularly as it opens up, the wine''s length is excellent, bordering on exceptional. I liked the cut of this wine from the first sip, even though it''s not really ready to be consumed. It has a bit of gravitas. I''ll be stashing some away for myself.
