However this then led to a long slow ripening period which produced thicker skins, riper stems and more concentrated flavors, resulting in Pinot Noir of excellent quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJH96\u003cbr\u003e\nAustralian Wine Companion\u003cbr\u003e\n60\/40% upper\/lower Yarra Valley fruit. Hand picked and open-fermented with 60% whole berries, the remainder whole bunches. A very bright, light–medium crimson red. A gentle waft of fresh raspberries and cranberries, with just the right amount of spice-rack spices. Delicious right out of the gate, this medium-bodied and refreshing wine will age well too. The perfect introduction to modern Yarra pinot.\u003cbr\u003e\nWS94\u003cbr\u003e\nWine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStunning, with terrific focus and intensity to the core of Earl Grey tea, firm, juicy cherry, raspberry and white pepper flavors.
