2022 Skye Ridge Victorian Pinot Noir

We all know that Pinot Nor is quite a particular wine variety and one of the specific needs is cool summer nights. So, we set forth into Victoria’s high country that feature panoramic open spaces, rolling farmlands and dramatic granite outcrops. Here in the Strathbogie Ranges and King Valley we found vineyards that could deliver on this pre-requisite. The fruit here gets the sun to create the intense cherry fruits yet the cool nights to finely balance the wine with natural acidity creating length and complexity.

This wine is a blend of Strathbogie Ranges and King Valley fruit. Two notable cool climate regions in Victoria and both part of Victoria’s general high country which feature panoramic open spaces, rolling farmlands and dramatic granite outcrops. The viticulture trademark of these regions are very cool summer nights, perfect for growing premium Pinot Noir fruit.
The 2022 vintage was small due to poor fruit flowering, reducing crop levels but overall increasing quality.
