2023 Provenance Scotsburn Vineyard Pinot Noir
$120.00
Grown on the southeastern side of Ballarat, on the foothills of Mount Buninyong, at Scotsburn. Set on a windswept volcanic lava flow rise, a couple of hundred metres from the Sinclair vineyard, Scotsburn is our most dramatic vineyard.
At 500 metres, with ancient basaltic gravel (“chocolate soil”), it’s a site that grows distinctive, brooding and savoury pinot. The vineyard’s close spacing and aspect encourage low yields and excellent canopy balance. The fruit is always muscular and complex, contrasting with Sinclair's red fruited profile, Scotsburn is always darker cherry fruit, earthy undertones, and a bolder tannin framework.
Our Regional Ballarat Pinot Noir was traditionally composed from these two vineyards; however, this is the first time they are bottled separately.
