WINEMAKING: Crafted from two parcels of Pinot Noir grown in the rolling hills of the Yarra Valley. The fruit was hand-picked and fermented in three batches, one being 100% whole-bunch (5%). Pressed to French oak (4% new) and saw eight months on lees in barrel prior to bottling in December 2024.
TASTING NOTES: Vibrant ruby in colour, delivering aromas of red cherry, raspberry, petrichor, sweet spice and wild herbs. The palate is light to medium weight with bright acidity, showing flavours of cranberry, dried cherry, sour plum and bay.

2024 Fetherston 'Fungi' Pinot Noir
'Wonderfully composed and expressed, showing dark berry, dried herb, fennel, star anise and toasted almond characters. The palate displays a finely flowing mouthfeel, combined with silky texture and layers of polished tannins, making it sturdy yet supple with a lingering, complex finish.'
