2019 Murdoch Hill Artisan Surrey Pinot Meunier
Production information
2019 Murdoch Hill Artisan Surrey Pinot Meunier
Region : Adelaide Hill, Australia.
Background : The Artisan series are very exclusive wines made in small quantities. They are a tribute to the late Tom Downer (1918-1984) a passionate collector of horse drawn vehicles. The Surrey is a popular choice for people moving up to six passenger, its rigid frame and open sides make for a solid ride with a feeling of freedom.
Vineyard : Uraidla (Piccadilly Valley)
A high altitude vineyard in the Piccadilly Valley of the Adelaide Hills, the Pinot Meunier vines planted in 1996 have a North West aspect giving plenty of sunshine required to express this intriguing grape varietal to it’s full potential. These vines stand at 525m taking a few degrees edge off the summer heat with very cool night temperatures, retaining beautiful natural acidity.
Variety : 100% Pinot Meunier
Color : Light red
Soil : harder soil, medium clay subsoil loam, with iron ore, quartz schist soil.
Growing environment : 2019 gave little but concentrated clean fruit, with average spring rainfall and a very dry summer, several heat-waves near harvest result in early picking, importantly cold nights throughout Feb/Mar help retain brightness to the fruit profile and high natural acidity.
Harvest date : March 2019
Style/Palate : elegant, silky red wine, delicious, vibrant, pure and beautifully balanced red
Aroma : with cherry and plum flavors
Alcohol : 12.5%
Winemaking : This wine is made to best express both the unique characters of Pinot Meunier and of the Adelaide Hills, using a more hands off winemaking approach with more traditional techniques. Including a high proportion of whole bunches, natural fermentation from indigenous yeast, no acidification and bottling without any fining or filtration. The wine is matured in older French oak for a short period to best express the fruit. Small batch open fermenters with wild spontaneous ferments. 40% whole bunch inclusion on average. Maturation in barrique and punchoens, with 20% new Austrian Stockinger oak for 6 months.
Food Pairing : Beef, Vension
