A four-pack of Provenance Single Vineyard Pinot Noir from the inaugural 2023 vintage release.
One bottle each of Sinclair, Scotsburn, Doeven, and Darriwill.
2023 Sinclair Vineyard Pinot Noir – Ballarat
Perched at 510 metres, Sinclair is one of our highest sites, planted in 1997 on quartz-rich Ordovician soils. Warm days and brisk Ballarat nights slow ripening and preserve natural acidity, resulting in precise, lifted wines. This 2023 release shows rosehip aromatics, bright red fruit, poise, and a fine chalky structure, an ethereal expression of the site.
2023 Scotsburn Vineyard Pinot Noir – Ballarat
Just down the slope from Sinclair, on a volcanic rise at the foot of Mount Buninyong, Scotsburn is dramatic and rugged. At 500 metres, its ancient basalt gravel (“chocolate soil”) yields savoury, muscular Pinot with dark cherry fruit and a bold tannin framework. This is the first time we’ve bottled it on its own, as previously it was blended with Sinclair for our Regional Ballarat Pinot. The 2023 is everything you want in exceptional Pinot: inviting, beguiling, a complex weave of pure fruit and spice notes, supported by such length and drive.
2023 Doeven Vineyard Pinot Noir – Henty
In the far south-west of Victoria, home to the famed Drumborg, Doeven sits on schist soils exposed to cool Southern Ocean winds. It was planted in the 1980s and has established itself as fantastic site for remarkable grape quality. It produces naturally concentrated, low-yielding fruit of incredible complexity. In 2023, the site delivered a Pinot Noir with striking energy, fine minerality, and beautiful natural acidity; elegant, detailed, and built to age.
2023 Darriwill Vineyard Pinot Noir – Geelong
Our flagship Geelong vineyard, Darriwill in the Moorabool Valley has been part of our journey for nearly 20 years. With limestone-rich soils and a cool south-easterly aspect, it always gives Pinot of depth and structure. Our move to sustainable farming practices, no herbicides, enriched soils, and a closer connection to the site, has more than delivered what we'd hoped. The 2023 wine is dark, bold and powerful, brooding, multi-layered, and quintessentially Geelong.
