100% Pinot Noir from own rooted vines made to express our unique site from which our wines are born.
Hand-harvested, destemmed and wild fermented from a co-fermented blend of Pinot Noir clones - 5,6,13 and Abel. Pressed off after 29 days on skins, and matured in oak barrels for 10 months. Bottled on-site by hand, without any adjustments, fining or filtration. No sulphur is added.
“Full, moreish and powerful, the 2024 Billet-Doux is an impressive wine. Notes of forest floor, blackberry and black doris plum mingle, give the wine a dark and broody appeal. Soft tannins and a long finish round out the palate."
- Rosie Menzies, Winemaker -
94 points - Excellent
Intense core of purple and ruby with a definitively pink rim. Aromas of plums and dark raspberry, black currant then spices of earth and barrel. There are some floral moments with a dark velvet rose idea. On the palate a taut and poised texture led by fine dusty tannins and a backbone of acidity framing the dark berry flavours that mirror the bouquet. Complex, youthful, dry and lengthy. A very well made wine with freshness and poise, youth and promise. Best drinking from 2027 through 2033+.
