Bellingham Reserve Pinot Noir CONFIRM VINTAGE

Pinot Noir Mornington Victoria
Welcome to one of the highest elevation vineyards on Mornington Peninsula, a place of chilly nights and frosty mornings, followed by balmy days of ample sunshine, a confluence of climes which make the site ideal for slowly ripened, fully flavoured Pinot Noir. The finest picks off the best rows of vine are set aside each year for Reserve, redolent of autumnal forest floor, brimming with cherries and ripe red currant, the high altitudes and brisk climes infuse minerality and seamlessness of tannin. Silky and complex, an elegant elocution of a very special place.

The two and a half acre, single hectare vineyard was planted in 1996 to Pinot Noir. The vines are now fully mature and are producing harvests of the most complex and flavoursome fruit. Viticultural techniques include the laborious Cane Pruning method, it's added hard work and very time consuming but is well worth the effort if you're after the highest quality fruit. The winemaking style favours wild yeast ferments and minimal intervention, with a nod to traditional Burgundian techniques, which allow the wines to express their site specificity and terroir.

Bellingham Estate are all about preserving the excellence of mature vine fruit, through the time honoured traditions of fastidious husbandry, low yields and minimalist winemaking practices. Controlled harvests of the most outstanding Mornington fruit, sensitive winemaking and the finest French oak make wine of complexity and grace.
