Byrne Farm Pinot Noir 2022

PURE AND PRISTINE, WITH AN UNDERLYING POWER, HAILING FROM ONE OF THE ORANGE REGION'S FINEST PINOT NOIR SITES

 

"This wine shows bright dark cherry, raspberry fruits with subtle spice and perfume. Our Pinot Noir is fresh and crunchy with a delicate palate and a powerful fruit finish.

Our 2022 Byrne Farm Pinot Noir comes from fruit grown in the cool climate region of Orange. Grown at approximately 900m above sea level, our Pinot Noir is a blend of Abel and 777 clones and was handpicked, with 100% being destemmed to whole berry, cold soaked and plunged once daily before being pressed and aged in oak for 9 months." - Byrne Farm

 

"The Pinot Noir is sourced from the Springvale block, southwest of Orange just outside the town of Cargo. This is believed to have been the first certified organic vineyard in NSW and, as per the Chardonnay, the vines are some of the oldest in the region at roughly 30 years. 

Byrne has worked with fruit from this site for a dozen years, which he prizes for its Christmas spice perfume. This year’s cooler conditions have resulted in a Pinot of impressive purity, minerality and drive, redolent with beautiful red fruit power and intensity, lovely smoked meat and earth savouriness and just a touch of reduction. There was no whole bunch this year, but plenty of whole berry to chase down that pretty and airy style.

The palate is densely packed, with purity and finely drawn, fleshy structure interlaced with high-grown freshness and a savoury tinged, lengthy close." - Bibendum
