Description
After discovering Yarra Valley wines 25 years ago, Lou Primavera planted his vineyard in Hoddles Creek in 2001. We have a long-standing relationship with the Primavera family, having sourced fruit from the vineyard for several vintages. We are now producing a single vineyard Pinot Noir from Primavera vineyard, a testament to the increasing quality of this up and coming site.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
This vineyard sits on red basalt soils. As the springtime name implies, it’s the most delicate of the lot. An enticing cherryjuice hue, it’s vibrant, bursting with primary redberry fruit and backed by gentle spice and driedfloral aromas. The palate is medium weight, but fills the mouth with more plump, juicy berries. There’s length and elegance here, and tannins are fine and well-placed, but this is a fruit show at the moment: Those more complex meaty aromas will need another few years before they show up to the party.
