Eastern Peake Intrinsic Pinot Noir 2023

Coined the pulse of Eastern Peake. Vine age ranges between 30-40 years in age on all three blocks. This is all MV6 grown on grey loam soils over weathered basalt at 430m in altitude. Destemmed to 3000L concrete fermenters, indigenous yeast, daily pump overs and basket pressed to French barriques (Siruge and Dominique Laurent) of which 30% was new. With additional time in stainless tank for settling. Rosella, goji and pomegranate seeds. A flirtation of raspberry, the density of fruit is undeniable. Cigar clippings, sweet maple leaf and rich brown earth. Melted chocolate and bay leaf. Satisfying, lively and with decades of life ahead of it. Yes, more than you will dare to risk. Intrinsic wines live beyond your imagination and here we see a mammoth effort made in the vineyard and it has been rewarded with a show stopper. The mind boggles with where this wine will go and what it will see. A stunner. Drink it with the evening sounds of birds and crickets for company, for that is all you will need.
