The subregion of Gladysdale is home to some of the most iconic Pinot Noir vineyards of the Yarra Valley; situated at an altitude of 250m in the far eastern quadrant of the valley, the mature (25+ years) plantings of low-yielding MV6 clones strive in these cooler growing conditions and red soils. The cool aspect of this subregion slows the ripening process and gives the wines fragrance and lift. This vineyard was originally the source of our sparkling wines, but the quality of the grapes was so too good not to make it into a single vineyard still wine. It's taken some work in the vineyard as even though they're the same varieties, they are treated, trained and pruned differently and needed time to regain balance.

Tasting Profile

Nose
The wine is medium-bodied and packed with cherries, raspberries, and plum flavours. It's fragrant and poised.
Palate
The acidity adds a crispness and freshness to the bright fruit, while the fine tannins add a silky mouthfeel. As with all great wines, patience and a cellar would help round out the wine, but a good decant well before imbibing would also work nicely.
