Stoney Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

Winemaker Notes
After a several-year hiatus while we waited for our new pinot noir vines to grow, the Stoney Vineyard Pinot Noir returns—juicy, fresh and floral. Drawn from a new block at the bottom of the vineyard, the fruit character is bright and light, with fresh raspberries and wafts of baked cherry pie overlaid by floral, almost peachy spice notes. Palate is light but well structured, with skinsy tannins and good supporting acid. A vibrant expression of a promising new block.

About Stoney Vineyard
Stoney Vineyard is the second label of Domaine A and it is in fact the oldest vineyard of the Coal River Valley, established in 1973. It was the name of the vineyard that original owner of Domaine A, Peter Althaus, purchased in the 1989, inspired by the current crop of Stoney Vineyard wines and a desire to relocate from Switzerland to the New World and fulfil a dream of producing world class Bordeaux style wines. He expanded the vineyard area and built a state of the art winery and created the world-renowned Domaine A brand with the Stoney Vineyard wines offering a different expression of styles, that are more suited to early drinking. Peter Althaus sold Domaine A/Stoney vineyard to founder of the MONA Museum and Moorilla Estate in 2018, he retired back to Switzerland and sadly passed away in 2021
