The vintage showcases an alluring perfume of dark cherries, strawberries, and rose petals, with subtle undertones of spice and earthiness. The palate is elegant yet generous, delivering layers of red and dark berry fruits, a hint of dried herbs, and a fine thread of minerality. Soft, silky tannins and refreshing acidity drive the wine to a long, poised finish, making it a deliciously approachable Pinot Noir with depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe growing season benefited from mild, even conditions, which allowed the fruit to ripen steadily, preserving freshness and acidity while concentrating flavours. The grapes were fermented with 20% whole bunches to add structure and complexity, followed by maturation in French oak barriques for 9 months to add subtle oak influence and round out the wine's texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Claw is the vibrant, accessible range of wines produced by the renowned Yabby Lake Vineyard, located in the cool-climate Mornington Peninsula.
