The 2024 Applecross Pinot Noir marks a new chapter for the label, with fruit now sourced from the historic former Lance family vineyard at St Andrews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a blend from three blocks of MV6 and c777 plantings dating from 1976, 1998 and 2003, a site with serious pedigree in Yarra Valley Pinot Noir. In the glass it's bright, perfumed and medium-bodied, with red cherry, alpine strawberry, dried herbs, graphite and a subtle floral lift, carried on the fine, 'al dente' tannins and bright acidity that have become a hallmark of the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand-picked in early March, the fruit was fermented with around 20% whole bunches and 80% whole berries. After two weeks on skins it was pressed to a mix of older French oak (puncheons, hogsheads and barriques), where it completed malolactic fermentation and spent 11 months on fine lees before bottling. 13.4% ABV, under screwcap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVintages may vary.
