2023 Glen Garvald Pinot Noir, Yarra Valley

As an extension of our explorations into the possibilities of future ‘fits’ for our vineyard plantings in the face of the steadily evolving and warming climate, we are also delving into the world of clonal variation in Pinot Noir. As a first step in this process, we chose to feature the north facing D2V5 clone as a singular wine.

This wine walks a tense line between savoury and sweet-fruited characters. It bears a brightness of colour with an intensity of varietal fruit. Aromas of black cherry and char, rose petals and baked clay abound.
