An outstanding harvest of Dijon clone Pinot Noir, picked off the prestigious Foggy Hill vineyard, is assembled alongside choice parcels from superior Fleurieu Peninsula sites. Parcels of destemmed and whole buch grapes are gently air bag pressed into a high selection of new French oak barriques for completion of malolactic and a year's maturation. A generously proportioned Pinot to accompany full flavoured fare.
TASTING NOTES
Bright cherry hues. Herbal florals bouquet, olives and black currant, nettles and stalk. A voluptuous, weighty palate of sweet fruit intensities, well structured, red cherry and plum fruits roll through the velvet textures, just a little alcohol warmth and depth from the extended macerations, length, linearity and juicily drying tannin finish.

More About Tapanappa Wines
Even as the ink was drying on the Petaluma purchase in 2001, Brian Croser's friends at Champagne Bollinger were forming a pact with the Croser family to begin again
Then along came the Cazes family from Chateau Lynch Bages in Pauillac. On a trip to Australia in 2002, Jean-Michel and his son Jean-Charles met with Croser and joined the partnership. The driving ambition was to own and make wine from the more than 30-year old Koppamurra Vineyard just north of Coonawarra. Tapanappa was born and Koppamurra Vineyard was acquired in late 2002. The property has since been renamed Whalebone Vineyard. The partnership was founded in a strong, mutually held belief that some pieces of ground are much better than others for the production of fine wine. Of course this superiority is highly specific to varieties and wine style. The Whalebone Vineyard and Cabernet Sauvignon in particular have a unique synergy. Croser learned of the wonderful quality of Cabernet from the Whalebone Vineyard 25 years ago when in 1980, he assisted Geoff Weaver to make his very first wine from this vineyard under the Ashbourne label.
