Tasting Notes
Aroma
Red to blue fruits, and far more density and depth than
previous Stonier Pinot’s. The typical varietal aromas of
wild strawberry and foraged pine mushrooms are
prevalent, but the palate is where the wine shines
brightest.
Palate
Full and brooding through the mid palate and
finishing with svelte tannin, this will suitably deliver for
lovers of Pinot.
Vinification
In 2025, it was evident early that there was going to be a good
amount of fruit weight and stem ripeness was also developing
early. As such, the inclusion of stem rose to around 15% in the
2025 version of this wine.
Pinot Noir ferments were hand-picked, chilled overnight, 15%
bunch inclusion on the base of the fermenter (all 2.3 or 2.6 T
stainless open tops), with remainder of the fruit going over the
sorting line before whole berry destemming.
100% Wild ferments. Upon evidence of fermentation (cap
formation), ferments are plunged only once day. Everything
about the process is attempting lengthen the time on skins to
17-19 days.
Vintage Notes
2025 will no doubt be described by many as on the great
vintages of the last 25 years, if not the greatest.
A warm spring and early summer rainfall gave way to an
extended warm and dry period but without significant heat
spikes. The above average temperatures in Spring ensured that
the season ran early and all fruit was in the winery before April.
Notable increase in colour and colour stability was seen in
Pinot which we attribute to both the season and increased
vineyard health as we progress further into the new ownership
and refocussed farming.
Region Notes
The fruit for Stonier Pinot Noir is derived from a selection of
mature vineyards scattered across the Mornington Peninsula,
with a focus towards the region’s cooler south, near out small
town of Merricks where the winery is located.
