Yabby Lake Pinot Noir

This wine reflects our philosophy at Yabby Lake - expression over impression. We’re focused on crafting wines that have integrity, personality, energy and presence. It is the vineyard that has these inherent qualities, so our goal is to provide a clear and precise translation with no distortion. Wines that speak clearly of their origins are the wines that need no or subtle manipulation.

The fruit was handpicked and destemmed into traditional open fermenters for a 3-4 day cold soaking. The fermentation was hand plunged up to three times per day depending on extraction levels. The temperature of the fermentation peaked at 32°C after which the wine was pressed after 10 days into French oak barriques for malolactic fermentation and ageing.
