Pinot Noir 2023

The Pinot is lovingly made in tiny quantities. It’s a blend of fruit from vines on the T&L block (clones 777, 115, 667, Abel, Pommard) and the old, unidentified clone planted by John Kirk at Clonakilla in 1978.

The 2023 vintage was the third cool growing season in a row and our latest harvest in over a decade. The spring in particular was cool and wet and the vines were slow to get going. Some genuine warmth finally arrived towards the end of summer flowing into a gentle and generally sunny autumn.
