Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. All Kooyong and Port Phillip Estate wines are entirely domain grown, vinified and bottled.
The Port Phillip Estate vineyard was planted in 1987 and acquired by the Gjergja family in 2000. Located in Red Hill, the ten hectare site is planted to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc, all on northerly and easterly-facing slopes.
The Port Phillip Estate Pinot Noir is a single site wine produced from 5.14 hectares of estate vineyard with an average vine age of 16 years in 2012.
The fruit is 100% destemmed and fermented, without yeast inoculation, in open vats for 18 to 21 days. The malolactic conversion is also indigenous. The maturation period is 12 months in French oak, 22% new.
Deeply aromatic nose of red cherry, raspberry, pine and sage. Silky and graceful, with flavours of strawberry and blood orange, the palate has excellent line and precision that is matched with fine savoury tannins.
