A wonderful example of Pinot Noir made by an undisputed Pinot master
This dry grown vineyard was planted in 1981 on old, red volcanic soils at 150m elevation.
The palate is rich and very finely structured. Extremely approachable for a young wine but with plenty of potential for ageing.

Tasting Notes

This site was planted in 1998 at 250m elevation and is considered the highest point between the Strzelecki and Great Dividing Ranges. The vineyard faces north with almost 360 degree views of Baw Baw Shire. Most of the vines are MV6 with a couple of rows of 115. The red volcanic soils have a little more rock than the Bull Swamp site and the wine is finer and more delicate as a result. This release is deeper and richer than previous vintages but is still very much Camp Hill in character. Aromas of wattle, boronia and bergamot as well as clove, chicory and sorrel. It is reminiscent of mountain air and damp forest. The palate is rich and powerful with great length and fine tannin. In spite of its weight and texture on the palate, aromatically it remains light and ethereal.
