Main Ridge Estate Half Acre Pinot Noir
Main Ridge Estate’s highly prized and rare Half Acre Pinot Noir’s tiny half-acre block was planted in 1975 on very shallow red basalt soils, and has since tripled in size (to a still minuscule 1.5 acres, or 0.6 hectares). Burgundian winemaking techniques are followed by maturation in new and one-year-old French oak barriques for around 17 months. Renowned for its glorious perfume, silky smooth texture, fruit complexity and mineral length, the Main Ridge Estate Half Acre Pinot Noir is a compelling reflection of site and meticulous winemaking.
