2020 Kooyong Ferrous Pinot Noir Mornington Peninsula

From: $72.00

2020 Kooyong Ferrous Pinot Noir Mornington Peninsula – The Kooyong vineyard is located on the Mornington Peninsula at Tuerong, on Miocene sedimentary soils. Their wines are made from domain grown, handpicked grapes and aim to manifest terroir: the integration of their geology and soils with the macroclimate of their region, the mesoclimates of the various sites within their vineyard and the weather of the annual grape growing season. Their cultural operations in the vineyard and practices in the winery endeavour to articulate these unique characteristics diligently, respectfully and without artifice.

This single-block wine is sourced from 1.2 ha of gently sloping 18 year old vines in the Ferrous vineyard. These vines naturally produce low yields due to a combination of unique orientation, free drainage and high exposure. Along with this, the soil has a far greater prevalence of ironstone pebbles than any other part of the vineyard and delivers wine with great concentration and savoury tannic presence.

This wine was fermented in a largeformat concrete tank. The ferment, with 30% whole bunches, occurred spontaneously with ambient yeasts and lasted 18 days. Following fermentation, the wine was pressed and racked into French oak barriques (25% new) and underwent indigenous malolactic fermentation. The wine was racked only once, with a total maturation period of 14 months. It was then bottled without fining or filtration.

The energetic and focused 2020 Ferrous shows the block’s typical sweet, earthy beetroot aroma along with undertones of fruitcake spice and wet stones. The deep palate has power and grace, driven by a core of dark, brambly fruit. This fruit weight is cut with tight gravel-like tannin, indicating that this Ferrous will greatly reward cellaring.
