Only 75 dozen bottles were produced in 2021, combining old-vine character, careful whole-berry fermentation and precise French oak maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine comes from a small parcel of Pinot Noir planted in 1969. The mixed planting comprises four clones: MV4, MV5, MV6 and a D clone originally selected for sparkling wine production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was harvested by hand and destemmed without crushing to retain as many whole berries as possible. Fermentation took place in 600kg small fermenters, with some stalks returned for lift and structure. The wine was hand-plunged twice daily, gently pressed and matured for 10 months in small French oak barrels, including 35% new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Bright crimson in colour. Rose petals and cherry fruits. Highly aromatic with some oak adding a vanilla sweetness. An elegant and silky fruit profile, cherry-soft, the palate is silky, seamless and expansive. Some graphite and oak spice lend a fine tannin structure to the finish.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted 19 December 2022\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePublished 27 June 2023\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n“Made from a small parcel planted in 1969. Whole berries with some stalk return, 35% new wood. A light, bright crimson. Perfumed and savoury with red and dark fruits together with some woodsy, stalk-influenced notes, too. There's an old-vine creaminess on the very well-balanced palate and ripe, persistent and velvety tannins rounding out a wine that can be confidently cellared for at least 10 years. 75 dozen made.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points - Ned Goodwin, JamesSuckling.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yarra Yering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRange:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carrodus\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1969\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClones:\u003c\/strong\u003e MV4, MV5, MV6 and D clone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yarra Valley, Victoria\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand harvested\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole berries with partial stalk inclusion in 600kg fermenters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 months in small French oak barrels, including 35% new oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 dozen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 years under suitable conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pure Wine Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52391436779822,"sku":"8409893547","price":274.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/2021_Carrodus_Pinot_Noir_Yarra_Yering.jpg?v=1785913929","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2021-yarra-yering-carrodus-pinot-noir-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
