Situated on a sheltered northerly slope looking toward the Dandenong Ranges, the site delivers even ripening, mid-palate fruit weight and structured tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis single-vineyard release is produced exclusively from one acre of MV6 clone Pinot Noir.

The ferment was not worked until a two to three degree drop in baumé, encouraging fermentation inside the berries and increasing aromatic lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce fermentation was active, the wine was hand-plunged two to three times per day for 15 days, then left on skins for a further 15 days post-ferment. It was pressed and matured for 16 months in oak, with 30% new oak, predominantly Sirugue extra-tight-grain, light-toast barrels. The wine was bottled without fining or filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-vineyard Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrom Sam Coverdale's family vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduced exclusively from one acre of MV6 clone Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-harvested fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNatural fermentation in open fermenters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16 months oak maturation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottled without fining or filtration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e92 points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCritic Scores \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTasted 28 May 2026.
