- EVERYDAY WINE CELLAR RELEASE - 

The fruit was carefully selected from vineyards situated in Lucinda Estate and Berry's Creek near Leongatha in South Gippsland. Soils here are red volcanic clay loam. Organic principles are implemented wherever possible. The vineyards are 120 metres above sea level and were planted in 1990 and 1998 respectively, both with a density of 6,500 vines per hectare. Clones used for the Gippsland Pinot Noir are MV6 and 777.

2016 was unusually dry in Mornington, milder temperatures than many recent vintages delivered the earliest start to flowering on record. Perfectly timed rain in late January gave the vineyard a much needed freshen up prior to picking. Harvest began very early with ideal flavours developing rapidly, crops were well- balanced and the berries had intense flavour and solid natural acidity
