Red Claw Pinot Noir 2023 Mornington Peninsula - 6 Bottles

Wine Description

WINERY INFORMATION:

The Kirby family searched long and hard in the mid-1990s, until they finally found an ideal location in Teurong, northern Mornington Peninsula. After careful soil surveys, mapping and planning, the land was planted with grapevines in the year 1998. The team at Yabby Lake is devoted to crafting wines showcasing purity, finesse and depth of fruit character.

TASTING NOTES:

Fruit for this wine was handpicked, with some batches being destemmed and some being whole bunch pressed. The grapes were cold soaked for 3 days, after which they were kept on skins for around a week. A 10-month French oak maturation period followed, after which the wine was finally bottled and packaged. Red Claw Pinot Noir has a dark colour, with its aromatic nose hinting at cherries, dark berries, and underlying nuances of spice and oak. The silky palate structure presents elegance and finesse, with its velvety texture and intense fruit flavours leading to a clean and poised climax. Dishes like salmon, roasted chicken and pastas taste marvellous with this vibrant red wine.
