Tasting Notes
Doug's vineyard sits at 540 m elevation, it was planted in 2001 to a mix of clones predominantly MV6 along with 114 and 115. Planted on a hill with a North East orientation the soil is volcanic, rocky red basalt. The fruit was fermented with approximately 50% of the entire bunches retained and the remaining 50% de-stemmed. Pressed and transferred to seasoned French barriques. 15 months maturation with only small amounts of sulphur added along the way, no fining or filtration. - Winery Note
Cooler climate Macedon Ranges, whole bunch winemaking, lower 12% alc and a distinct root vegetable angle over the raspberry fruit make this a distinctive interesting Pinot. Best with food like roast chicken and veggies maybe. - Michael L
We are Chris Dilworth and Loique Allain, focusing on making wines from the bourgeoning region of the Macedon Ranges and surrounds. Over the years we have been working and travelling together, pursuing an opportunity to create our winemaking dream. We are both inspired and excited about the art of fermentation and its rich history throughout different cultures. Our lived travelling experiences both in Australia and Europe has been formative to the way we live our lives and make our wines. - Winery Note
