Lightfoot & Sons call on the peerless quality of fruit, picked off a superb parcel of vine, clone MV6 Pinot Noir, planted to the superior Cliff Block on the family farm in East Gippsland. Myrtle Point Vineyard always yields an exceptional harvest, the smaller bunches and tightly packed berries of this exquisite patch however are something that's even more special. An outstanding articulation of the excellence which can be achieved from cool climate, Gippsland grown Pinot Noir, a mere two thousand bottles of this exquisite wine are made annually.
From a precious parcel of Pinot Noir, picked off an isolated block of cane pruned vine, the shallowest patch of soil in the vineyard, which keeps vine vigor low, bunch size down and berry size small. The grapes from this block have a high skin to must ratio, intense colour and intensity of concentration. Grapes are gently destemmed, a third are included as whole bunches, into open top fermenters, hand plunged twice daily to extract tannin structure and deep colour. Upon completion, batches are pressed into a selection of new and seasoned, Sirugue and Bossuet, Allier and Chatillon forest French oak barriques, for malolactic and a term of maturation, bottled unfiltered and fined. Alcohol 15.0%

More About Lightfoot Sons Wines
About three hours east of Melbourne, the Gippsland Lakes District is located between the Great Dividing Range and Bass Strait, a region that's famed for the large areas of National Park and State Forest, as well as the scenic Gippsland Lakes System
Gippsland as a wine region defies easy classification. It is technically a zone under the Australian GI system, rather than a winegrowing region of its own. The area is large and viticultural areas dispersed, however, throughout all precincts of Gippsland, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the predominate grape varieties. The Bairnsdale sub region has lower annual rainfall than the rest of Gippsland and enjoys coastal climate which provides sea breezes throughout the growing season. Bairnsdale's cool semi maritime climate has proven to be particularly well suited for Pinot Noir and cool climate styles of Chardonnay and Shiraz. Lightfoot Sons»
