JONES ROAD 2019 NEPEAN PINOT

Tasting Note.

Very intense and precise pinot here with violet-like florals,

sappy fresh forest aromas, raspberry, a savoury graphite[1]like mineral edge and a pure red cherry fruit flavour. The

balance is perfect and the wine delivers plenty of value for

this reserve single vineyard barrel selected wine.

Viticulture:

A specific area of vines on The Nepean Block was selected for this

wine. Historically we have found this area has produced some

amazing flayour profiles, all MV6 clone. We started the growing

season with a light fertilzing and the natural rainfall was adequate.

The vines had been cane pruned to 18 buds and trained to an open

VSP canopy. no watering was necessary this season. A light

summer pruning maintained the open canopy and bunch counts

restricted to one bunch per shoot. The grapes were hand-picked

relatively early on 4th March
