This Pinot is an individual creature. It came to be, due to some trials in the winery and vineyard that produced a wine that stylistically is so different to the rest of the pinots, that it demanded its own range and label. The fruit was foot stomped (after de-stemming) for 6 hours on day 1 and on day 2 we pressed the juice, which was almost a light rose petal colour, into barrel where it fermented without any contact with skins. This wine has grown in colour and stature whilst sitting on lees un-racked for 30 months.
- Darker in colour than any of the other pinots.
- Dark fruits of cherry and spiced baked plum/rhubarb.
- Fine tannins and a full enveloping palate displays richer fruits of slightly cooked cherry/raspberry/plum.
75 cases of the 2005 EB1 were produced.
