2018 Bonadale Pinot Noir
The Bonadale Vineyard is our highest and most sun-exposed. Fruit for this wine was selected from 2 clones – D4V2 and 115. Both clones
are intensely aromatic, powerful clones. These clones represent the ripest fruit from our ripest plot. Fruit was handpicked at vintage. Vines were heavily de-leafed following veraison.
Fruit was 100% destemmed and cold soaked for 14 days prior to wild fermentation. Fermentation took place in a 3,500L Burgundian oak vat to provide superior oak integration and sophistication. Following fermentation, the wine was matured in first-class French oak barriques, 38% new. This wine is unfiltered and unfined.

Wow! Pinot Noir is a terrific combination of flavour, power & elegance. Dark cherries, berries & plums, a lovely dash of spice, a slight earthy note while still retaining a freshness about it. It may not be built for the long haul but beautifully built nonetheless. Great work Justin!
