About This Vineyard

Kiltynane Estate produces unique Yarra Valley  organic wines including Pinot Noir, and a still Blanc De Noir grown following organic and biodynamic farming practices. This 2010 vintage we’ve also made a very special wild fermented Shiraz and fume style Sauvignon Blanc – release 2011. For the Pinot Noir, the grapes are hand picked in the cool of the very early morning. Each clone is picked as it comes to full physiological ripeness, destemmed and then cold macerated for up to seven days without any additions. 10% whole bunches are retained. When the grapes start to show signs of fermentation, the vats are brought out of the cool room into the warmth and allowed to commence wild fermentation.
