What the Experts Say

I think this is from Kilmore, which sits just outside of the Macedon GI. Tasted from a cute little 150ml can, and I’ve decided I really like wine in little cans. Be a great idea on planes too, when we can travel again, some year or another.

Dark cherry, baked beetroot or something a bit earthy and dark like that, a little spice and mint. It delivers lots of flavour, dark and almost choc-cherry flavour, but with new leather, fresh acidity, gentle but insistent dense tannin, something of a Campari radicchio twang on a solid finish. A bit idiosyncratic, but really enjoyable. Like it. Excellent value too.

Our Notes

Loads of character here and a lot going on. This natural-ferment Pinot Noir shows chocolate and some savoury earthy mushroom notes, sure, but also a little more tannin than you might associate with the grape and some great little root-vegetable nudges.

Herbaceous, earthy and a little eccentric with an easygoing authenticity, this one’s a real free-spirited hippie of a wine and all the better for it.

Winemakers comments

Grown at Quarry Ridge Vineyard Kilmore. Hand picked, 15% whole bunches in the ferment. Aromatic, rich and weighty.

About the Winery

Named for the Miles Davis album that went electric , winemaking couple Matt Harrop and Tamara Grischy s Silent Way project similarly features some playful but virtuosic boundary-pushing from a handpicked team of experts who refuse to just do the usual. Small quantities of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and a signature Semillon blend are on offer, all grown and vinified with an emphasis on authentic expression of the grapes and the region.
