Curly Flat Western
Pinot Noir

Alongside its Central counterpart, fractions of the Western blocks were bottled separately to highlight their striking contrasts as well as their show their role in the main Estate blend.  The 1997 & 1998 blocks occupy the western boundary of our vineyard but are easterly in aspect resulting in reduced exposure to the afternoon sun, making them our coolest parcels of Pinot Noir.  Furthermore, parts of these vineyards share soils that are 430 million-years-old, consisting of ancient seafloor from the Upper Ordovician era.  Overall these factors combine to form wines of delicate fragrance,  powerful yet elegant fruit enveloped in dense yet supple talc-like textures.
