2023 Santolin Gruyere Pinot Noir
'Made from fruit grown on a single block in the Syme on Yarra vineyard in Gruyere. A step up on the '21 with its aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, spice and floral notes. This all follows through onto the medium-bodied, finely detailed and structured palate.'

This wine is produced from fruit grown on a single block in the Syme on Yarra Vineyard in Gruyere, located approx. 150m above sea level with clay loam soils that sit above ancient rocky subsoil. The vineyard has a gentle east facing slope, minimising frost risk and maximising sunshine exposure with good rainfall across the whole block. The vineyard uses biodynamic principles and is hand pruned and shoot thinned when required throughout the growing season. 2023 was an excellent year in the Yarra Valley, with a long, cool growing season and timely rain events producing excellent quality and healthy yields.
