"We have spent the last 35 years working on identifying specialised sites on our Granton Estate for the development of iconic Pinot Noir. Our Single Block Pinot Noir range has been selected for their specific terrior, the soil type that truly express the uniqueness of each Pinot Noir.
Il Giardino translates to ‘the garden’ in Italian. The heavy, silty black clay topsoil over clay base helps water retention in the block, resulting in vines that have more vigour and wines that have more structure with higher acid and tannin profiles." - Stefano Lubiana, Winemaker
"Needs some time. Blue berries, violets, red cherries, deep set spice and garden herbs. Feels both ripe and powerful but also feels firm, smoky, cedary and pressed with tannin. Patience required here." - 93+ Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
"A wonderfully purely presented wine, savoury and perfectly balanced with a slow umami burn as it fades away. It's all wild strawberry and dark cherries with hints of exotic spice, turned leaves, mushroom broth, amaro, Chinese barbecue joint, dried citrus peel and peripheral gamey nuance. Powdered stony tannins, finishing dry and taut yet beautifully expressive; sour cherry, raspberry and strawberry as it trails slowly away." - 96 Points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion (2022 Vintage)
