    About the Wine

    Hailing from the cool, windswept heights of the Whitlands plateau (800m), this Pinot Noir is all about brightness, lift, and finely etched detail. The elevated site delivers freshness and aromatic clarity, while the volcanic soils and cool continental climate provide depth and savoury nuance.


    Winemaking

    Around 30% of the fruit underwent a carbonic ferment on whole clusters for 7 days before being de-stemmed and left on skins in open fermenters for a further 14 days. The remaining 70% was de-stemmed and fermented wild in open-top fermenters, with the full cuvée spending 28 days on skins. Maturation took place in neutral puncheons, with the blend assembled prior to bottling.


    Tasting Notes

    A shimmery vibrant cherry hue. Aromas of sweet cherry, raspberry, and red plum are layered with hints of rose petal, rhubarb, and a whiff of red liquorice. Subtle spice notes weave through the bouquet, adding complexity.

    The palate is light yet flavour-packed, juicy red fruits and a crunch of red apple pulse with vitality. A fine silty tannin structure and piquant acidity frame the wine. Plush yet ethereal, it finishes long with red florals and gentle spice. A Pinot of both charm and precision, equally suited to thoughtful sipping or casual enjoyment.


    About Fleet Wines

    Lisa and Justin Jenkins bring a clear and dynamic vision to their winemaking, with refined palates shaped by over 30 years of combined experience at some of Melbourne’s most iconic wine bars and restaurants. With extensive experience tasting the world’s best wines, the couple have channeled that expertise into crafting wines that are charismatic and full of personality.

    In 2016, the couple returned to South Gippsland, Justin’s childhood home, to pursue the winemaking dream and produce small, limited-release wines that capture a moment in time.

    Each Fleet wine is a reflection of its origin and varietal, offering a snapshot of a fleeting moment, lovingly crafted by two seasoned professionals who are driven by flavour and vibrancy.
