Rather than casting the net wide to unknown and unproven sources, Mike Paterson composed this ‘village’ wine from his most prized vineyards―the sites responsible for his exceptional single-vineyard bottlings. This year’s release combined fruit from the Wrekin (55%) and Settlement (45%) Vineyards in Omaka Valley, harvested two days apart. Paterson loves the combination of these two sites, finding harmony in the elegant, red-fruited suppleness of Settlement and the brooding, savoury weight of Wrekin.
It's not hard to understand why Corofin’s regional blend shine so brightly. The quality of the vineyards is one thing, as is the crafting, which includes handpicking, natural fermentation, gentle extraction and long lees aging in oak. Bottled at 13%, it’s a delicate and succulent Corofin Pinot laden with vivid red fruits. There’s a whisp of smoke cosseted by fine cherry-ripe acidity and refined structure. Lovely.
