A wine that beautifully encapsulates Andrie and Mark’s fascination for Pinot Noir. It hails from the cool and well-drained upper section of the Bunny Block planted in 1985 (clones D5V12, D4V2, and 777). These vines are now hitting their peak, both in quality and altitude—sitting between 560 to 610 meters above sea level. They thrive without irrigation, crafting a tightly structured wine, intricate in flavour, and with great tannic feel.
The White Label Pinot Noir embodies the hallmark characteristics of this unique site – intense with exceptional tannin structure to age, effortlessly composed and balanced This is a timeless expression of high-altitude Piccadilly valley Pinot Noir. 15% whole bunch and minimal new oak (13%) for 18 to 20 months.
An absolutely stunning wine, with silky, deep flavours that feel hedonistic, yet it carries a surprising lightness of foot and thoughtful composition. The profile is true to the Whisson Lake terroir—macerated strawberries mingle with ripe raspberries, salty licorice, and rose—but it’s the sweet spiciness and the acid backbone that make this release so compelling. Tannins are already mild, yet carry remarkable flavour. - Mark & Andrie Whisson, Winemakers.
