About this Wine

Grown in the cool, elevated reaches of Woori Yallock, the 2022 ‘Dans les Bois’ Pinot Noir is a striking example of site transparency and vintage character. From one of the lowest-yielding seasons in over a decade, this wine showcases the intensity and finesse possible in the Upper Yarra when nature delivers in small quantities.

Hand-picked on March 9, the MV6 fruit was partially destemmed with 40% whole cluster retained for structure and aromatic lift. Wild fermentation took place in small open vessels, with three weeks of skin contact to gently extract colour and tannin. The wine was pressed to French oak barriques (20% new) and aged on lees for 10 months before bottling. Just 170 dozen produced.

Aromas of wild forest flowers, cherry skin, and mineral earth set the tone. The palate is bright and fresh, showing red cherry, wild strawberry and cranberry, with subtle complexities from whole bunch fermentation. Fine tannins and a whisper of volcanic-earth salinity complete the elegant frame. A precise, aromatic Pinot with undeniable Upper Yarra identity.

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.
