Our Pinot Noir

Our Pinot Noir plantings comprise a complex mix of 20 different clone and rootstock combinations of differing ages, the oldest planted in 1980. Each combination has subtle but noticeable differences both in growth and flavours. Some will have larger bunches, some smaller, some grow upright, some like to flop. Some rootstocks are more tolerant of drought, others are not. Each combination has a different way of expressing the terroir of the vineyard providing a complex palette for our winemaker to draw from.

2019 Pinot Noir Cuvée C

150.00
The Cuvée C—first produced in 2016 and, since then, yearly—was birthed from the achievement of multiple milestones in 2016. The Melick family's first grandchild, Constance, who was born in 2016, is the namesake for the "C", while "Cuvée" comes from the French word meaning 'a blend of wine'.
