The Old Weka Pass Road Pinot Noir is a 5-barrel blend from select barrels of the Quarry Rootlings and 10/5, Slope and Shelf Top. The handling on skins is the same as for the Bell Hill and the French oak was also 100% new. The wine was racked and blended after 12 months in barrel, it had 8 months in tank and was bottled on the 2nd of December 2019 with a pH of 3.69, TA of 5.0g/L, and alcohol of 13%. 1,366 bottles were produced.

Struck match with sweet fruit notes, cool ocean breeze blue fruit, delicate but forthcoming despite the light appearance of colour. A juicy fruit core with linearity and direction. Long with a seamless saline flow, subtle in extraction but has finesse and flow with underlying palate tension.
