Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir
Vineyard: Cutting edge viticulture teamed with exceptional wine making has delivered a superb wine from the South Australian Adelaide Hills region. The vineyard is constantly monitored and managed to deliver premium grapes.
Season: A challenging season to say the least with fruit production reduced by 20 to 50% due to a range of factors; wind effecting flowers and berry set and irregular rainfall. The spring growing season began well with good rains wetting the soil profile for a successful bud burst and positive sign of plenty of fruit bunches. The growing season was generally cool with a few extreme heatwaves to contend with in January-February. 2019 turned out to provide high quality wine grapes, with concentrated fruit in limited supply.
Wine making: Hand picked vines were carefully sorted before basket pressing. New French oak barrels.
Appearance: Bright brick red.
Aroma/Bouquet: Lively plums with dawns forest berries. Black pepper and tea with black cherry, black currant and violets.
Palate: This red wine is savoury to the core. It's flavorsome, hearty with depth and a myriad of flavours and textures. A strong and fresh berry compote with umami, graphite and meatiness.
Food Pairing: Cheese plates, Chinese spiced duck, Saffron and brandy squid just to name a few.

Barossa - Eden Valley Pinot Noir
Vineyard: Rileys Pinot Noir vineyard is situated outside the township of Eden Valley on the family estate. Pinot Noir is not normally grown in the Barossa wine region but Rileys site is higher than others and challenged by cooler than average evening temperatures, allowing a variety such as Pinot Noir to be grown.
Season: A dry start to the vintage growing season with expected cooler evenings and seasonal late frosts. A warm start to the summer season ensured a strong and healthy canopy structure, ideal for Pinot Noir grapes. Along with warm weather, rain arrived and was higher than expected throughout January and February.
Wine making: The grapes were hand picked, gently pressed onsite in a traditional basket press before a short time on skins to maximise colour. New French oak barrels were used to mature the Pinot Noir.
Appearance: Light red brick with purple hue
Aroma/Bouquet: Lively aromas of strawberries and cherries, with a delicate hint of spice.
Palate: The Pinot Noir has delightful fresh berries on the immediate palate with hints of plum and black pepper. Light to medium bodied with a soft and slightly savory finish.
Food Pairing: Chinese five spice duck, Risotto with Parmesan and garden peas or Maggie Beer's Pheasant Farm Pate with freshly baked french stick.
