Crittenden Estate Peninsula Estate Pinot Noir 2018

True to its name, The Peninsula range of wines represents the Crittenden family’s dedication to over 35 years of viticulture and winemaking in this cool maritime region. Parcels of grapes have been selected from various vineyards across the Mornington Peninsula to produce vibrant and aromatic wines which truly reflect their ideal climatic origins.

2018 vintage saw favourable weather leading to excellent fruit set. A larger than desired crop load needed some “thinning” to reduce potential yield. A mild to warm ripening period allowed the fruit to achieve optimal flavour ripeness.

The 2018 Peninsula Estate Pinot Noir walks the middle ground between being fruit driven and more complex and structured. Each of the contributing clones, 114, 115 and MV6; bring a unique character to the wine. Ideal ripening conditions and minimal yields have also contributed a level of complexity and a bright ruby red colour which further enhance the length and ageability of the wine. The texture is rich and structured with soft tannins and a good acid finish.
