Scotsburn Ancient Sea Pinot Noir 750ml

Rising to 530 metres above sea level, the Ancient Sea vineyard grows in the remnant soils of Ordovician seas deposited more than 450 million years ago. A mix of mudstone, sandstone, quartz and clay, these old goldfields soils combined with 500m+ elevation ensure a Pinot Noir of fragrance, detail and a clear sense of place.

Planted in the mid-1990s across just 0.9 hectares, this small site consistently produces pure Pinot Noir with lifted red fruit aromas and fine structure. The medium-bodied palate balances sweet fruit to fresh natural acidity and fine tannins.

Carefully crafted in both vineyard and winery, it captures the natural affinity between this elevated site and Pinot Noir. Its inherent balance is elegant now but will build complexity with careful cellaring.

 It is a compelling expression of cool-climate Pinot Noir.
