    The wine

    From the vineyard to your glass.

    At the foot of the Warramate Range in the Yarra Valley, a small team of locals made less than seven hundred cases of this cool climate pinot noir. After a great 2018 growing season, with plenty of wind coming off the Great Southern Ocean, the grapes were cold soaked for four days before allowing the must to naturally ferment. Owner Helen insists on a low intervention approach to winemaking. Low intervention wines are mostly “made in the vineyard” with very little manipulation (e.g. filtration) done in the winery itself. The idea is to allow for the purest expression of terroir.
    Ruby coloring, fresh cherry nose, and long finish. You’ll also find a bit of charred earth, a minty spice, and subtle oak. Safe to say, the Layla Pinot Noir is a complex wine. We tried to find it elsewhere in the US but could not. Given the small supply, enjoy it while you can. Cellar 1-8 years.
