About this Wine

This year’s Shed Pinot is sourced from the cooler northeastern slope of Denton View Hill. The majority of the fruit hails from Block 6 on the lower hill, closest to the winery, with a welcome addition: a generous portion from Block 4—our Close Planted MV6 vines perched at the top of the hill near the house—adding a little extra oomph.

Fermented wild in open pots with 10% whole bunch, this wine underwent twice daily gentle plunging and/or pump-overs over a 10-day fermentation. After two weeks on skins, it was pressed into a mix of 90% old French oak and 10% stainless steel, for nine months. Bottled in early December, unfiltered and unfined.

The 2024 growing season kept us on our toes. It began with a very wet start, as December and early January brought record rainfall - meaning disease pressure was high. Then a dramatic shift: February and March turned into the driest on record, characterised by warm, dry days that compressed the ripening period. Luckily, the nights stayed relatively cool, preserving natural acidity and balance - a great pay off for an intense harvest period!

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.
