Pauls Lane Pinot Noir hasn’t been seen since the 2020 vintage, and it’s been sorely missed. The fruit for this wine hails from Toolangi’s 2001 plantings of MV6 clone on their E Block. It’s a parcel that delivers lower-than-average yields for this already moderate-yielding site, and the fruit holds markedly more drive and intensity. The fruit fermented with 50% bunches over 15 days before being pressed to French oak barriques (20% new) for nine months’ maturation. Philip Rich’s note below captures the wine well; it’s a bright, vivid, juicy, complex single-vineyard Yarra Pinot from a great season, site and grower.
