Tokar Estate Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2022

Grape Varietals & Regions:100% Pinot Noir from Yarra Valley in Victoria, Australia. This Pinot was made from the two Pinot Noir blocks at Tokar Estate, planted in 1996 and 1998

Taste Profile: A bright ruby colour to the wine, with fresh strawberries, cherry and a delicate savoury spice on the finish. The palate is fresh, vibrant and generous. The structure relies on the bright acidity more than the tannins, keeping the wine aromatic, easy drinking and balanced. The wine finishes with an attractive subtle smokiness from the oak which compliments the lovely varietal fruit.

Winemaking Process: The destemmed fruit was gravity fed to the fermenters for a cold soak, followed by fermentation using a combination of wild and inoculated yeasts. The wine was matured in French oak hogsheads for eight months where they underwent malolactic fermentation in our underground cellar. The wine was bottled in December after a coarse filtration.
