Wine Details

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. 

La Roccia, or the ‘rock’ in Italian, is a nod to the main geological feature of this block; a large limestone rock shelf in the middle of the block. Our La Roccia consistently produces wines with the greatest structure and tannin.

James Suckling 'Sophisticated and pure, with lifted aromas of dark cherries, forest floor, wild raspberries, dried herbs and orange peel. The palate is medium-bodied with tightly wound acidity and finely integrated tannins, giving notes of blackberries, potpourri, violets and chalk. Exceptionally well constructed, with a savory edge from 100% whole-cluster fermentation. A nearly perfect and complete Australian pinot noir. Brilliant.' - 99 Points
