Inspired by the Grand Crus-sourced red wines of Burgundy, Colleen’s Paddock is perfectly positioned in a suntrap on a steep slope on the lowest and coolest part of the family estate. The steepness of the vineyard provides huge variations in ripening times, which means fruit picking in this tiny Pinot Noir block takes place over many weeks to ensure perfect ripeness in each small aliquot. It features a restrained, brooding and beguiling nose with hints of cranberry, sour cherry, wild raspberry, earth, stalks and charry oak. The palate weaves an uncommon mélange of supple fruits, herbal flavours and savoury elements through fine, integrated tannins, combining lightness with richness.

Melissa’s Paddock, our smallest vineyard, is inspired by the very best Hermitage examples of the Rhône Valley. It is bottled as “Syrah” in recognition of its refined structure, savoury flavour and eloquently spiced nuance. It features a subtly brooding and slowly unfurling complex nose, featuring rumours of blackberry, liquorice, stalk, tar, spice, Christmas mince pies and charry oak. It features fine building with carriage of fruit through to the reverberating finish.

From the exemplary 2022 Yarra Valley vintage, which was characterised by minimal crops and tiny berries with abundant tannin, this is one of our most beguilingly complex and savoury projections of Pinot Noir. The palate backloads with an accumulation of fine-grained, seamlessly integrated tannins married with a fine line of natural acidity and complexing stalk influence. The wine confidently pushes through the full length of the palate to a sweeping lingering finish.

Showing volume and body with elegance and restraint, this enticingly perfumed and refined medium-bodied cool-climate Syrah is the result of an assemblage of ten individual small batches sourced from Block 25 on our Maroondah Highway vineyard. Rated 95 by Stuart Knox from The Real Review
