2021 Picardy Tete de Cuvee Pinot Noir 750ml

Region and Heritage

Estate-grown in Pemberton, Western Australia, this top-tier Pinot Noir is crafted from Picardy’s finest Dijon clones. It embodies an Old World approach with a cool-climate sensibility, expressing purity, precision, and depth.

Viticulture and Winemaking

Harvested from the estate’s most prized parcels, the hand-picked fruit undergoes cold maceration with 30% whole-bunch fermentation for structure. The wine is matured for 10 months in French oak barrels (new to four years old), offering balance between subtle oak and vibrant fruit.
