Working closely with renowned Mornington artisan Sandro Mosele, Liz and Simon Gillies launched the Yal Yal Road label in 2010. The vineyard is alive with the sounds of kookaburras and wallabies hopping between the vines at dusk. Parcels of Pinot Noir are selectively hand picked, grapes are destemmed but not crushed into fermenters for a week of cold soak maceration. A wild indigenous yeast vinification is treated to a course of gentle plunges twice daily for optimal extraction of colour, flavour and fine tannin. Batches are fermented to dryness and pressed, settled and racked to a selection of seasoned and new French oak barriques for natural malolactic and a year's maturation before assemblage.
Deep ruby colour. The nose leaps out of the glass, immediately declaring itself as uplands Mornington Pinot Noir, so fully aromatic with raspberry and red currant notes, perfumes of quince and crushed meadow herb. The palate shows plenty of life, sassafras jube, black currant and morello flavours over a length of elegant, graphite tannins. A great match to rare duck breast, fine pate or succulent leg of lamb.
