100% Pinot Noir
William Downie stands as a benchmark for minimal intervention, site-specific Pinot Noir in Australia. His focus has always been on the grape, evidenced by his time spent in Burgundy at Domaines Fourrier and Hubert Lignier, followed by roles at Bass Phillip in Gippsland and De Bortoli. In 2003, he launched his own label, producing Pinot from the Yarra Valley, Gippsland, and the Mornington Peninsula.
Grown from vines planted in the late 1990's, 70% of these Pinot Noir grapes come from Northeast Melbourne in King Valley and the rest from the Yarra and Upper Goluburn Valleys. Vinified in stainless steel, the lushness of the red fruit really stands out with a bright, peppery finish.
