Vintage 2021
Description
SOLD OUT/ALL ALLOCATED The 2021 vintage produced Pinot Noir of depth and poise — a season defined by balance and gentle ripening in the Yarra Valley. Hand-picked, naturally fermented and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Aromas of dark cherry, plum and subtle earth lead to a finely structured palate, with supple tannins and long, graceful finish — a confident, classic expression of the vineyard’s character.
provenance
Provenance is at the heart of every Nine One Six bottle; an unwavering commitment to ensuring the unique character of the vineyard and season is captured. Each wine begins at this single vineyard in the Yarra Valley, where original, thirty year old, MV6 Pinot Noir vines are planted in grey loam soils at the top of the Steels Creek Valley. Each vintage we take the harvested grapes to our neighbour where the winemaker tends to minimal intervention making. When the wine is ready, we collect it and store it here at the vineyard (and our home) in the dark and under temperature control. Then for each order, on demand, we hand-label and send, via wine courier direct to consumer.
Sustainability
Sustainability at Nine One Six begins in the vineyard. Soil health and canopy balance are essential; carefully maintained and hand tended. Irrigated from rain filled dam and billabong, and enriched through worm-farm fertigation when required. Solar power runs our coolroom and wine storage, reducing our footprint. Every element of Nine One Six packaging — from cork to carton — is fully recyclable, and waste is kept to a minimum. We're proud members of Wine Yarra Valley who are focused on sustainable growing and making of premium wine.
