CAREY GULLY - PICCADILLY VALLEY - ADELAIDE HILLS

Wine
Barrel selected by Candice and Frew and made from our oldest Pinot Noir vines, planted in 1996. This section of the vineyard sits next to our driveway and is extremely low yielding. It produces Pinot of wonderful depth and structure. Produced in an extremely limited quantity, just two barriques bottled.

Lifted with cherries, blackberry and perfumed floral notes, with a smoky savouriness and a forest floor earthiness. The palate has silky fruit with fine tannins and nutmeg spice.

Drink now or cellar carefully until 2028. Released February 2024
