Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Medium ruby heart with red hue. Aromas of ripe red cherries and plums, underneath are wild raspberries and freshly crushed currants. Classic forest undergrowth, clove, dark spice, and bramble notes surround the fruit while purple florals give everything a lift. An alive palate of fresh dark red fruits, fine grained tannin, well integrated oak. The structure is built around a gentle core of acidity which give freshness to the wine and is capped off with an oyster shell reprise that resonates.

All our Pinot Noir is hand harvested and sorted. We pick each clone separately, and they stay separate until final blending. The fruit for the 2019 harvest was all destemmed, without crushing into small open top fermenters. The fruit was ambient soaked until natural fermentation commenced before a selected yeast strain was inoculated to carry on and finish the fermentation. During this time, the ferments were gently worked with various techniques to ensure that tannin extraction was respectful to the natural fruit weight and intensity. Total time on skins for this vintage was between 21 and 30 days. Parcels were then run to barrel taking only light lees, we refrained from using much new oak (16%) and a slightly higher percentage of 1 year old oak (26%), this was to ensure respect was shown to the fruit. The barrels are racked clean, the wine put together in late February and returned to old barrels for a further 5 months (15 month in oak) before being lightly filtered pre-bottling."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, August 2022 (2019 Vintage)
"Complex and detailed bouquet with aromas of wood spice and mineral, dark red berry fruits and fine toasty barrel spice of clove and vanilla. Dry, complex, textured and rather delicious on the palate with a fine tannin and core red fruit flavoured mouthfeel. Acidity carries flavours through the palate accentuating primary cherry and plum flavours then toasty spices from barrel. The mineral attributes are a constant throughout the tasting. Well made with excellent drinking on its own or with food. Best drinking from 2022 through 2030+."

The Boneline is a family business who started planting in 1989, continuing to craft wine exclusively from this original vineyard, in their own winery. They were one of the early Waipara vineyard pioneers, recognising the areas potential as a premium wine region.

Boneline's location was selected on the basis of meeting rigorous selection criteria: frost-free micro climate, north-facing and north of the Ashley River, with a limestone and gravel base. Grape varieties have been matched to the sites across four unique levels of terraces to maximise grape potential.

Boneline's Cellar Door offers seated tastings, a sharing-style snacks menu, a library wine selection (previous vintages), and a wine store. They also host weddings and events.

On weekends a Vineyard walkway is open for cellar door guests to walk the property and learn about the various blocks (there are 22 signs along the way).
