While his Merricks site is all about wind-swept structure, this patch of old vines on richer soils turns out a pinot with a bit more flesh on its bones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 season required some quick thinking and sharp harvest dates to keep that essential cool-climate freshness intact. In the shed, Barney keeps his hands off the wheel, letting wild yeasts do the job before a quiet spell in seasoned French oak. He doesn't filter or fine the juice, leaving all the natural grit and personality right there in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt pours a bright, translucent ruby colour. It jumps out of the glass with a deep, briary mix of sour cherries, forest twigs and a cool, earthy bitter edge. The mouthfeel is satisfyingly pulpy with a tight line of native acidity and fine, stemmy tannin that keeps the whole thing savoury and structural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-quality Pinot from a modern Mornington star.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This captivating from the first sip...
