Tasting Notes
Sourced from the lilliputian Aesctun vineyard at 500m elevation and Gully Road at 550m elevation. Adelaide Hills vineyards at such elevations belong in a rarified group of extremely cool climate sites ideally suited to the Pinot Noir grape. High winter rains preceded a very cool spring. Late budburst, flowering and a cool autumn combined for a late vintage. Hand-picked on the 4th, 20th and 24th of April, wild yeast fermented in closed puncheon and open fermenter, 10% whole bunch, matured for 11 months in French oak (30% new). Unfined. 1360 bottles produced. Alc 12.5%. - Michael Hall
Originally from the UK, I released my first vintage of Michael Hall Wines in 2008, bringing my wine dream to fruition after two decades of jewellery valuation in Switzerland. From Europe to the Barossa, I took this leap into the unknown, completing wine science at CSU and working stints in Australia with Cullen, Giaconda, Henschke, Shaw + Smith, Coldstream Hills and Veritas; in France with Domaine Leflaive, Meo-Camuzet, Vieux Telegraphe and Trevallon.
I have identified eight extraordinary vineyard sites across the Barossa Valley, Eden Valley and Adelaide Hills and have since pursued my passion for making thoughtfully produced wines, which provoke thought; individual, small batch, elegant wines made with passive interventions and meticulous attention to detail. For wine nerds, like me. - Michael Hall
