DRY RIVER PINOT NOIR 2024

Irresistibly moreish with radiant sweet fruit at its heart—bright, floral, and brooding with earth, moss, vine bark, and the signature of our old vines speaking through the soil. Fragrant spices emerge, including whispers of anise. Black cherry and soft black doris plum unfold with suppleness and generosity, carrying incredible length across the palate. The wine is succulent and full-bodied, with vanillin oak beautifully framing the fruit. Smoky toast rises like rain steaming off a hot road, grounding the wine's elegance in place.

Beneath the fruit and charm lies a substantial structure—a framework that will allow this Pinot Noir to broaden and polish through bottle age, building complexity as hydrolysis unveils layers of aromatics over time. The texture speaks to our terroir; minerality provides the skeleton, while the wine's architecture ensures graceful evolution.

The 2024 vintage: A spectacular season blessed with sunshine and dry maturing conditions, rewarding us with stunning clusters and berries. With meticulous cluster selection in the vineyard, followed by individual berry grading at the winery, we have crafted a Pinot Noir that is quintessentially Dry River—classic in every sense.

Winemaking: 35% new French and Austrian oak, 15.8% whole cluster fermentation, fermented with Dry River yeast, polished with egg white and filtered for clarity.
