Pinot Noir 2024

2024 

BACKGROUND

At Simon Tolley Wines we are firm believers that great wine is made in the vineyard. To this end, no stone is unturned to grow the best quality fruit we can on our family vineyard at Woodside in the Adelaide Hills. To grow the best fruit, you need to select not only the right site but also the right clone to deliver the results that you want to achieve 
in the finished wine. For Pinot Noir, we have chosen the MV6 clone which is famous for the deep cherry and raspberry characters with hints of baking spices, such as cinnamon and nutmeg.  

HARVEST

A relatively mild summer with low yielding vines, providing perfect conditions to select a near perfect parcel of Pinot Noir fruit from our Cellar Door vineyard at Woodside within the Adelaide Hills on the 6th of March, 2024. The cellar door site is 500M elevated and has a Southerly aspect, perfect for ripening high quality fruit. 

WINEMAKING

Well attended vines were harvested in the cool of the morning; approximately 15% spent 9 months in French oak barrels.  

CHARACTER

A bright crimson red colour with an expressive bouquet and silky-smooth tannins. Bright cherry and raspberry flavours backed with notes of baking spice, with a vibrant peppery character.
