2017 Rob Hall Pinot Noir

Recommendations

Expert Reviews

95 Points - James Halliday - Halliday's Wine CompanionHand-picked in small batches from three Lower and two Upper Yarra vineyards, most destemmed, 10% of the batches fermented with 100% whole bunches, typically 10 days on skins (a few batches for 1 month), matured in French oak (10% new). This shares its elegance with Harriet's Vineyard, and also a balanced web of spicy, savoury tannins. Rob Hall didn't miss the opportunities of the '17 vintage.
92 Points - Campbell Mattinson - The Wine FrontIt’s perfumed, light, succulent and just all-round good drinking, but what I really like is the zippiness of the acidity, the impression of detail, the flare of the finish and the way herb notes fan out in exaggerated form as the wine breathes. I’m not sure where Rob Hall sources his pinot noir grapes but the feel and form of this is Upper Yarra; it has that light, herbal insistence. Another 2-3 years and it should really shine.

How was it made?

A blend of three vineyards. Willowlake (cooler southern end of the Yarra Valley), Daniel's Hill (the warmer northern end) and Hall's parents vineyard (south of Healesville) which lies between the other two both in it’s geography and climate.

10% of the batches fermented with 100% whole bunches, typically 10 days on skins, matured in French oak (10% new).
