This Australian Pinot noir comes from the Piccadilly valley where the terroir is rich in red clay. Exposed to the east, the vines grow in the deep, fresh valley. Anton Von Klopper is one of the region’s most in-vogue producer, crafting amazing natural wines. Organic-inspired agriculture is at the heart of the vineyard.
There is little intervention as the grapes are vinified. Once destemmed, they are fermented in open vats, undergoing manual stirring every few days for three weeks. The wine is then matured in 500-litre oak casks. No sulphur is added and the wine is not filtered.
In the glass, this Pinot noir has a lovely, ruby hue with notes of violet and red fruits. It is nicely supple and acidic on the palate. A different style for this varietal!
