2017 Elderslie Pinot Hills Blend No. 2 750Ml Bottle

This is 100% Pinot Noir in 2017 (having been a blend of Pinots Meunier and Noir previously), again coming off one of the higher sites sitting around 380 asl near the town of Hahndorf. Planted to red/brown clay soils over ironstone, the MV6 vines sit on an easterly slope soaking up the morning sunlight. Again, hand-picked and sorted, fermented predominantly whole berry with 10% whole bunches, ambient temp, no additions, 14 days on skins, basket pressed to old French oak and then racked and bottled in January 2018. The resultant wine is full of intensity and vigour, supported by wonderful purity and density
