About this Wine

Entirely sourced from blocks one and five of our Napoleone Vineyard in Coldstream, the original 35-year-old plantings of MV6 Pinot Noir. The fruit was separated into two ferments, with block five 100% whole bunch and block one whole berry. The whole bunch component gives the wine an aromatic lift whilst adding structure and a complex savoury element, whilst the whole berry portion adds juicy fruits and fills out the palate.

Gently pumped over twice daily to ensure a healthy ferment and subtle tannin extraction. The ferments were temperature-controlled to retain the wine’s beautiful aromatics. The wines are then pressed to a combination of new (30%) and seasoned French oak barriques. Once in oak, we left the wine on malo lees unsulphured for a few months, building depth and tannin harmony. The wine spends 12 months maturing in oak before bottling.

The wine shows elegance and power, with notes of dark berries, violets and spice. It has lovely concentration, structure and length. – Jarrod Johnson, Punt Road

Yarra Valley Wine

The Yarra Valley wine region is the most important area of wine production in Victoria today, and with its proximity to Melbourne, also the most visited in the state.

Yarra Valley is split into the Upper Yarra and the valley floor. The Upper Yarra is cooler in climate due to its elevation and coupled with younger, fertile, red soils produces most of the region’s notable varietals: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The valley floor is warmer and has predominantly grey soils with pockets of granite and limestone.

Pinot noir has long been considered a notoriously difficult variety to grow. However, the cool climate and longer growing seasons of the Yarra Valley allow the fruit to develop full flavoured and ripe character.

Chardonnay in the past has long been associated with a deep oily, buttery style that experiences full malolactic fermentation and great amounts of oak. This style has since fallen out of favour and wine makers in the Yarra Valley have capitalized on this trend to produce leaner, acid driven Chardonnays that are closer in style to those from Burgundy.
