2009 Red Claw Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir
Personality
Quiet and mysterious…this 2009 Pinot Noir has a rich fragrant aroma and a long silky palate.
Behind the Scenes
Fruit from the Yabby Lake Estate Vineyards
Clones: MV6, G5V15, 114, 115 and D4V2
Handpicked, carefully destemmed in to open fermenters
Three days cold soaking to ensure even and thorough extraction
The wine fermented and was on skins for a period of 14 days, after which it was transferred into French oak barrel for 9 months where it completed malolactic fermentation
Prepared for bottling in December 2009
The Result
Deep crimson in color. Rich, fragrant aromas are dominated by cherry and dark berry fruits complemented by a touch of spice and underlying French oak. The long, silky palate has a lovely soft and velvety texture, with powerful flavours of dark fruits and a finely poised finish.
