1314 Pinot Noir 2024

1314 Pinot Noir is from a blend of vineyard sites from our property, primarily MV6, 114 & 115, planted in 1976, 1997 and 2004. The 2024 vintage is a barrel selection based on an earlier bottling regime and younger drinking window.

Parcels of Pinot Noir from our different blocks were fermented with indigenous yeast, approximately 25% whole bunch including a portion of carbonic maceration. The wine was matured for 8 months in primarily hogsheads of which 20% was new oak.

The nose opens with dark red fruit aromas, autumnal earthy notes and some hints of bunchy spice. A touch of cola and some liquorice aromas come into play as well as classy and serious oak characters. In the mouth the wine is elegant but full flavoured, quite a powerful expression of Pinot Noir but with elegance and fine tannin. A lot of character and quality at this price point.
