Accolades

Awards for 2024 Singlefile Single Vineyard Mount Barker Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

• Colour: A beautiful medium ruby hue, which signals the wine’s elegance and youthful vibrancy.
• Aromatics: The nose is lifted with aromas of red cherries and spices, complemented by subtle forest floor notes that promise to develop with age.
• Palate: The wine has a medium body and a gently textured mouthfeel, with soft tannins supported by the wine’s natural acidity. The fruit and oak seamlessly merge, creating an elegant balance.
• Finish: The wine finishes with good length of flavour, providing a long, satisfying finish that invites another sip.

Food Pairing Suggestions

• Game Meats: The medium body and soft tannins of the wine make it a perfect match for roasted duck or lamb, complementing the rich flavours of these meats.
• Mushroom Risotto: The subtlety of the wine’s texture works beautifully with the earthy flavours of a gourmet mushroom risotto.
• Cheese Platter: Pair with a cheese platter, featuring creamy brie or aged cheddar, where the wine’s acidity balances the richness of the cheeses.
• Intimate Dinners: This wine shines in more intimate settings, where its complexity and elegance can be fully appreciated.

Best Serving Temp

Serve at 14-16°C to highlight the wine’s delicate aromas and vibrant fruit profile. If being stored at room temperature place in the fridge for an hour before drinking.

Winemaking

• Vineyard: Sourced from the Moore River Vineyard in the Mount Barker sub-region of the Great Southern, which is known for its cool climate, allowing the Pinot Noir to develop the depth and character for which the region is renowned.
• Fermentation: The fruit was gently destemmed and cold-soaked for two days to extract the flavours, followed by a blend of natural fermentation in new French oak and fermentation in small open fermenters.
• Oak Aging: The wine spent approximately seven months in 225L French oak barriques, with 30% new oak. This helped integrate the oak character and added subtle depth to the wine.
• Bottling: The wine was carefully prepared for bottling after the oak maturation period, ensuring that the final product was a balanced, well-structured wine.

FAQ Wine Terms 🤔

• Cold Soak: This technique involves soaking the grapes in cold temperatures before fermentation to extract colour and flavour compounds gently, without harsh extraction.
• Natural Fermentation: Fermentation initiated by wild yeast (naturally occurring in the vineyard), adding complexity and a sense of place to the wine.
• Burgundian Oak: A style of oak known for its subtlety, used here to support the fruit without overwhelming it, contributing to the wine’s overall elegance.
• Barriques: 225L oak barrels, often used in fine wine production, allowing for gentle oak integration and a balanced maturation.

Vintage Conditions

The 2024 season delivered warmer, dry weather throughout the growing season, leading to harvest about a month earlier than usual. The warmer conditions have resulted in a darker, more brooding styled pinot noir.

The fruit was harvested between 6-11 March 2024. It was picked, gently de-stemmed and then cold soaked for two full days. A parcel was barrel fermented and underwent natural fermentation in new French oak, the remainder went to small open fermenters and later to new and seasoned oak. The wine spent approximately eleven months in French oak 225L barriques, 30% new. It was then prepared for bottling in early February 2025.

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
