Slow Lane 2023 Pinot Noir

Notes from the makers - Dom and Federica:
From a sheltered, 1 hectare block of vines grown organically by Jack Nelligan. Dark grey & brown loams mixed with some quartz gravel. This unique site provides an elegant but firm expression of Pinot noir. Handpicked fruit was fully destemmed & macerated for varying periods before maturing for 10-11 months in 500L & 300L barrels (20% new). The blended wine was further rested in tank for 9 months before being bottled via gravity. In the glass it is driven by cherry aromas with some orange zest & cured meat in the mix. It’s a high energy example of Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir, with a lengthy & creamy finish.
