Blood Moon Dream Of A Dream Reserve Pinot Noir 2025

Vineyard - Dash Farms in Faraday on the Macedon side of Bendigo. An elevated, cool, sheltered valley where fruit ripens at a measured pace on a granitic soil - there are cresting reefs of granite rising between the vine rows.

Winemaking - Harvested 4 April. The best fruit was selected and destemmed, then plunged once a day. Wild yeasts were allowed to complete the fermentation, maceration was 13 days. Pressed to predominantly older neutral French oak barrels, with 20% new French oak. Maturation was 12 months, racked once. 50/50 MV6 and D5V12 clones, co-fermented. No additions apart from sulphur, no fining or filtration. Vegan friendly.

Label - Detail from a charcoal and crayon nude; the point of the hip. Or a terrain map of a lake beside a forest. Or a grape cross section. Or a lunar crater. Or a bubble rising in a dream; or in a dream of a dream…
