The Messrs Buckle and Drummond source parcels from a neighbouring vineyard that's planted to warmer climes. Whinstone yields a Pinot of structure, clarity and length, it shares a remarkable kinship with its estate sibling's, brightly lit translucence of fruit.
The Whinstone property at Red Hill is planted to six acres of westerly facing vines. The choicest parcels of Pinot Noir are treated to a course of maceration and open vat ferments, followed by several days of boots on, foot stomping pigeage. Batches are pressed into a selection of French oak barriques for completion of malolactic and a year's maturation on sedimentery lees.
TASTING NOTES
Purple garnet hues. The freshest of raspberries, rose petal florals, the savouryness of bouquet garni, star anise and mace. Delicately, medium to light bodied, crystalline acidity carries the flavours, cherries and red apple skins over a silken length of refined, tannins. Textural sappyness, forest floor and savoury spice, lingering strawberry spice, a subtle rub on the tongue.

About the Circe Winery
Circe is a partnership inspired by growing up on the Mornington Peninsula and a love of Pinot Noir
Dan Buckle and Aaron Drummond met at Mount Langi Ghiran in 2007. After a vintage of Shiraz it was inevitable that the conversation would turn to any other varietal except Shiraz. With both of them growing up on the Mornington Peninsula, they were keen and curious as to what they could do with Pinot Noir from such great soil. Drummond & Buckle acquired a vineyard along Hillcrest Road, Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula, three acres undervine being roughly half I-clone Chardonnay and half MV6 Pinot Noir, with north facing rows, moderate spacing and deep red volcanic basalt soils.
