2024 Landaviddy Lane Pinot Noir
REGION
Mornington Peninsula
TASTING
The 2024 Landaviddy Lane Pinot Noir opens with an alluring nose of souk spices, savoury plum, bay leaf, tapenade and crushed clove. On the palate, baking spice surrounds a dollop of black plum and grainy tannins with a pleasingingly long finish.
WINEMAKING
The fruit is handpicked and destemmed into a 2 ton open fermenter as whole berries and left to start fermenting naturally. It is not touched until a 2-3 drop in baumé, which allows fermentation to occur inside the grape berry and I believe increases the aromatics of the finished wine. Once fermentation starts strongly, the ferment is hand-plunged 2-3 times per day for 15 days. The wine is left on skins for post ferment maturation for another 15 days. It is then pressed off skins and racked to barrel. 30 % new oak and predominately François Freres and Sirugue extra tight grain Light toast. In the spring the wine is racked and returned to barrel. Finally after a total of 16 months barrel maturation, the wine is bottled without fining or filtration.
VINEYARD
Our Landaviddy Lane vineyard is located in the sub-region of Shoreham and is situated on a gentle southwest facing slope with the vine rows running in a north, northeast direction.
This sheltered valley sees very little morning sun and plenty of afternoon sun; moderated by the cooling Bass Strait sea breeze allowing for gradual ripening. The wine is sweet-fruited and perfumed with round and flowing tannins.
