2024 Indigo Vineyard Pinot Noir

Brokenwood has been producing Pinot Noir from the Indigo Vineyard since 2002. There are three separate Pinot Noir clones (114, 115 & MV6) on different rootstocks planted over different blocks on the Vineyard. This allows us the opportunity to process the fruit as individual parcels; hence, we have the capacity to release this Single Vineyard wine, which displays the quality and pedigree of Pinot Noir grown on this Vineyard. Above-average rainfall throughout 2023 made for another challenging growing season, with a significant frost event in late October significantly reducing yield; Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were especially impacted, with some blocks reduced by as much as 75%. Indigo received over 100mm in both October and December, which gave us a vigorous canopy. Thankfully, the rain cleared for January, and the low yields ensured rapid ripening. Picking commenced on the 12th of February, and the fruit was in good condition with fine, ripe tannins.
