Tasting Notes
Single block Pinot noir from our Scary Gully vineyard in Forest Range. The name Slip Block is given to the vineyard due to its extreme steepness that has lead to many a tractor slip. 100% whole bunch fermentation, 10 months in barrel (25% new French oak) before being racked, settled and bottled in February 2018 without fining or filtration. More savory and serious than our spring Pinot noir, but with that distinctive Scary Gully now, this wine is best enjoyed by the fire over a number of hours with friends. 1,743 bottles made, 13% alc./vol. Natural cork. - Winery Note
A love of wine, food and growing things eventually led us away from a vastly different background involving scuba gear and seaweed. Our winery is situated in the Basket Range of the Adelaide Hills where we try to intervene as little as possible in the growing and making of our wines. We farm a number of small parcels in Basket Range, Forest Range and Ashton. We don't like to define our styles or wine making techniques, we just make wine in the way we feel is right for the grapes and season and most importantly, with maximum drinkability and enjoyment in mind. We hope you enjoy. - Winery Note
