2019 EB57 Concrete Schoolyard PINOT NOIR |
Our EB (Experimental Batch) wines are used for small interesting batches of wines that push through boundaries of either viticulture or winemaking. They represent a challenge to ourselves in terms of either a new viticultural or winemaking direction. |

TASTING NOTE |
We have chosen not to provide traditional tasting notes for any of our wines. Our wines hopefully capture vineyard life and vitality. As such the wines are constantly evolving. The only tasting notes that matter are yours. |

VINTAGE CONDITIONS |
The 2019 growing season was dry and warm. With below average spring rain, vigour was slightly restrained. February offered a reprieve with a cool dip in temperatures for almost 2 weeks. Vines and fruit freshened up and barely broke a sweat getting across the finish line. Wonderful structure in skins and seeds and fresh balanced fruit emphasised the season. |
