Release 2018 Rooster Pinot Noir & Cellar Door after lock-down

Release of 2018 Rooster Pinot Noir

The 2016 Rooster Pinot Noir is now sold out so we have released our 2018 vintage (we did not produce a Rooster in 2017).

As with the 2016, The Rooster is selected from the various clones, batches and barrels of Pinot Noir we made in that vintage and then given extra time in barrel. The aim is to create a wine that drinks well on release, but will develop and reward cellaring - a bigger style of Pinot Noir than our regular.

2020 Vintage update & trading during Covid Lock-down

2020 Vintage

Our 16th vintage and the most difficult to date. Like all things of late it was made much more difficult by the Covid pandemic.

First the good news, we did not have any smoke damage. Sent grape samples off for testing just before picking began and the results showed we were in the clear. The second bit of good news was that the yields for Riesling and Sauv Blanc were around average.

The bad news?
