Shelmerdine Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2009
|
| |
|
|
A warm low yielding vintage provided tiny Pinot Noir berries with intense concentration, evident in the glass. The nose has lifted aromatics; bursting with violets, cherries and rose petals, hallmarks of Pinot Noir grown in the Upper Yarra Valley and Lusatia Park Vineyard in particular. The fruit is supported by medium-toast spicy French oak. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied with pure dark cherries, extra spice, restrained oak and a lovely velveteen texture.
The wine is sourced from Lusatia Park Vineyard near Woori Yallock, in the cool, elevated, south western corner of the Yarra Valley. The Pinot Noir reserved for this wine is mostly grown on north facing slopes from mature MV-6 clones planted in 1985, at spacing of 3000 vines per ha. Vintage 2007 was the sixth consecutive extremely low yielding vintage, at approximately 1.5 tonnes per acre, affording remarkable fruit intensity and persistence.
