The below-average sized crush can be attributed to a number of seasonal factors as well as various forms of human intervention driven by economic considerations and market forces.

Written Notes

This is named after Rob's parents, Angelo and Wendy, the founders of Castle Rock. They planted the first vines in 1986 and the fruit for this wine comes from those vines. Maturation was in French oak (17% new) with a further ten months on lees following. 25% whole bunches are used. 

Deep garnet in colour, this is the most refined and elegant Pinot of the CR trio. Love it. Elegant it may be bit, even so, it also gives a nod to the savoury side. Fragrant cherries, sage, exotic spices, leaf litter and animal fur here, with a hint of kirsch. There is mouthwatering acidity, good energy throughout, early complexity, focus and length, with silky tannins on a lingering finish. The team see the concentration throughout the wine as characteristic of the 2024 vintage for their region. Enjoy over the next eight years. Hard to think of many better Pinots from Western Australia. 95.
