Established in 1995, Toolangi Vineyard is in the Yarra Valley adjoining the Toolangi State Forest. This single site vineyard on fine clay loam produces wines with distinctive personalities, each wine showing a strong sense of place. Low cropped and hand harvested from 20 year old vines of MV6 Pinot Noir clone.

Hand-picked on the 1st of March. 2021 was a welcome return to ideal growing conditions here in the Yarra Valley. Fruit was destemmed as whole berries, with 5% as whole bunches. A short cold soak prior to fermentation and on skins for 14 days. The wine was pressed to French oak (5% new) for malolactic conversion on lees and in oak for 10 months.
