The Bird Pinot Noir 2025 - Dozen

Traditionally made but lightly touched, letting the fruit and region speak for itself. Recognisably Mornington pinot — perfumed, 10% whole-bunch pressed and alive.

Lifted red fruits and wild herb. Fine-boned and fragrant, with a textural complexity that speaks to a more expressive winemaking approach.

100% Mornington Peninsula, single vineyard wine.
