2025 Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Pinot Noir
Our philosophy is to craft single vineyard wines of great purity and character, reflective of our site and the season in which it was grown. It’s the attention and care in the vineyard that is most critical to allowing this expression.
The 2025 season saw a welcomed return of warm and extended summer conditions, producing full flavoured wines with impeccable intensity and balance.
Winemaker Notes
The fruit was handpicked between 20th February – 4th March, with each parcel handled separately in the winery. Hand sorted and carefully de-stemmed, the whole berries were then transferred to oak fermentation vats for natural fermentation. A small portion (10%) of whole bunches were used in 2025. Once fermentation was complete, the wines were transferred to French 500L oak barrels for maturation, 20% of which were new. The wines were left undisturbed until estate bottling in late January 2026.
MV6 (40%), Abel (30%), 667 (5%) D4V2 (25%)
Tasting Notes
A bright crimson. Aromas of red fruits - strawberry, raspberry, red currant, coupled with a floral and spicy note. The palate has layers of fine grained and silky tannins. It is intense and full, with layers of flavour and texture leading to a long, lingering finish. Cellar for at least five years, and preferably more than 10.
