S&G Pinot Noir

With less than one metre between each vine and 2.5 metres between each row, the vineyard takes after Burgundy in France. It is hand pruned and handpicked.

The wine made in limited quantities with each bottle individually numbered. It is named after vignerons Sharon Pearson and Garry Sweeney.

Crimson red, Mt Lofty Ranges Vineyard S&G Pinot Noir has sweet fruit flavours, spicy oak and supple tannins. Cellaring potential is seven years.
