From the very good 2015 vintage in the Yarra Valley, the grapes for Toolangi’s pinot noir are from Dixon’s Creek, handpicked and 100% destemmed. It’s matured in a well judged 10% new oak, the remainder consisting of one, two and three year old barrels. This is a subtle Toolangi, with aromas of cherry, autumn leaves and deli meats. The palate adds some beetroot characters, and overall the impression is of a wine in delicate balance with good length.
