A beautifully layered, complex and fragrant expression of Pinot Noir from historic vineyards in the Yarra Valley. Our winemaking guilty pleasure.

Mea Culpa is an admission of guilt, an unapologetic acknowledgment that we should have known better. While we generally steer well clear of the navel gazing snobbery of the wine world, with Mea Culpa we give over to passion, take exceptional parcels of fruit and indulge in winemaking debauchery to create a uniquely expressive wine. This is not a wine that claims perfection, but a wine that delivers an expression of site, vintage and winemaking character. If indulging in your passion is a crime, then we are guilty as charged.

Mea Culpa is a uniquely expressive wine born from exceptional fruit and winemaking debauchery. With wafts of blood-red roses, wild blackberry, and blueberries, accompanied by hints of cardamom, cinnamon, and cranberry, its mesmerizing garnet and ruby hues capture attention. Gliding across the palate like a Hitchcock movie, it exudes red fruit richness, subtle white truffle notes, and fine silky tannins. This wickedly complex Pinot strikes a fine balance between elegance and intensity, showcasing impressive structure and power. Pair it with roasted duck breast, chargrilled steak, wild mushroom risotto, or grilled salmon to elevate your dining experience to extraordinary heights. Indulge in this guilty pleasure and revel in the indulgence of your passion.

This seductive libation calls for the union of perfectly seared duck breast topped black cherry reduction, and a dark chocolate lava cake for dessert.
