An impressively deep, youthful colour with a strong purple rim. The bouquet is likewise fresh and bold, bright and young, bursting with spicy dark-cherry aromas and showing the same concentration on palate. Balsamic herb flavours linger on the follow-through. A robust pinot with lashings of tannin and the brightness and primal energy to live and develop over many years. Cellar it!

A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE JOURNEY TOWARD THE ‘ORONSAY’ …
When the Pooley family decided to uproot from Wimbledon, UK in search of broader horizons it was done at the flip of a coin, Australia or Canada!
With decision made, Denis, Margaret and children – Sheila, Patricia, John and Diana boarded the RMS Oronsay and set sail for Tasmania, Australia.
The sense of adventure, forging into the unknown and looking for greener pastures was the philosophy used to create this wine. Crafted from select parcels of fruit that Anna Pooley deemed the most suitable to with-stain 100% whole bunch fermentation – in search of a Pinot Noir with gusto that carries the elegance of Cooinda Vale!
Whole bunch fermentation allows for a fresh and vibrant fruit character whilst adding an extra layer of complexity via the additional tannin that is extracted from the stems of the bunches, it also balances acid by extracting potassium from the stems that combines with tartaric acid in the wine to soften the overall feel of the wine.
