Place: Coldstream – Yarra Valley, VIC
Variety: Pinot Noir
Farming: Conventional
We discovered Pimpernel a decade ago while searching for off-the-map producers in the Yarra. It was founded in 2001 by owners Mark and Fiona Horrigan and in 2008 winemaker Damien Archibald joined the team.
After years of selling only via their mailing list and cellar door, they are finally distributed! This pinot noir is the harmonious marriage of both their parcels, fermented and raised in stainless steel and French oak (30% new) for twelve months. Entirely impressive.
