Rochford Estate Dans Les Bois Pinot Noir 2022Grown in the cool, elevated reaches of Woori Yallock, the 2022 Dans les Bois Pinot Noir is a striking example of site transparency and vintage character. From one of the lowest yielding seasons in over a decade, this wine showcases the intensity and finesse possible in the Upper Yarra when nature delivers in small quantities. Hand picked on March 9, the MV6 fruit was partially destemmed with 40% whole cluster retained for structure and aromatic lift.
