Fermentation lasted around 20 days, followed by pressing and maturation in large-format oak—specifically 1800L foudres—for 10 months. The wine was racked in January and bottled in February 2026, resulting in a Pinot Noir that’s vibrant, approachable, and distinctly Gippsland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout Xavier Goodridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXavier Goodridge crafts idiosyncratic expressions of Pinot Noir born on his organically farmed vineyard in Gippsland’s Maffra, the Gunaikurnai Country.
