About this Wine

The Gladysdale subregion is home to some of the most iconic Pinot Noir vineyards of the Yarra Valley. Situated at an altitude of 250m in the far eastern quadrant of the valley, the mature (25+ years) plantings of low-yielding MV6 clones thrive in these cooler growing conditions and red soils.

The harsh growing conditions at the start brought yields 30% lower than last year with small berries and bunches. As the season improved, the warm, dry weather let the smaller berries ripen perfectly and pack a big punch of fragrant, bright red fruit characters.

The grapes were hand-harvested and chilled overnight to ensure brightness and purity. Ten per cent were left as whole bunches to add perfume and freshness. They were crushed and kept on skins for two weeks before being transferred into fine French oak barrels (20% new) with very tight grain to add structure. After maturing for ten months in barrel, the wine was bottled and aged in the cellar until now.

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.
