Eastern Peake 'Cogshill' Pinot Noir 2022
The Wine
This wine is our new "Introductory Wine" due to the such small supply of fruit we have from the Eastern Peake site. This is a section of barrels from the 4 different blocks of pinot noir (Eastern Peake, Walsh Block, Two Mile Hill & Griffins Road). These vineyards are all walking distance from each other all connected via the Coghills Creek catchment & in view of the Eastern Peake of Mount Bolton.
2022 provided some excellent Pinot Noir fruit for us, it was challenge to farm early on in the season. Fermented naturally in 3000L wax lined open concrete vats, each block was basket pressed separately, 12 months élevage separately in 228L barriques (20% new), selected barrels from all the blocks were assembled, no fining or filtering, bottled 6 months after racking from barrel. A small amount of sulphur post malo & pre bottling.
