My partner and I visited your winery a few months ago in the Yarra it was a humble cellar door, with no flashy oakridge styling , we limited our tasting to two varieties Chardonnay and Pinot noir . I have over the years had thousands of tasting and by no means think I’m proficient in judging a good wine except for my individual palette , it’s not what I’d call a typical yarra pinot but your 2018 pinot noir two is rocking my socks after opening a bottle at home some time later . Sorry bindi your now second and as for the first review you have a IQ of a cornflake ! . I’m a firm believer in supporting the small local guys doing it very well Thankyou for a great find Pimpernel

My wife Sinead and I had a great wine tasting experiance at Pimpernel, the wines at this vineyard are beautiful and aren't the standard wines found in the Yarra Valley.
Mark was insightful and made two beginners in wine feel comfortable. Please try the Syrah, Viognier and the Muscat, they are beautiful and really set this winery apart from the others. We'll certainly be back once our funds are replenish.

About Winery and Wines

At Pimpernel Vineyards, our philosophy is simple: marry a great site with the best varieties and winemaking techniques. Dry land cultivation techniques produce intensely flavoured wines that fully express our site and its climate. To ensure the best results viticulture is carried out by hand – cane pruning, shoot thinning, canopy management and selective harvesting allow us to respond optimally to the nuances of each vintage, and promotes low cropping, increases flavour concentration and improves natural acidity. In the cellar, winemaking interventions are minimized to maximise expression of our terroir. Fruit is received in individual parcel and fermented in barriques or small open topped vats allowing close attention to the subtleties of each fermentation. As the wines mature in barrel their progress is followed with a similar level of attention to detail. There is no acid balancing, copper fining or use of other 'industrial' techniques; we do not regard these things as wrong but prefer to leave as much to nature as possible. As part of our estate approach Pimpernel wines are bottled, labelled and packed in the cellar with our own hands. After bottling, our wines are stored for a year (or more, as is the case with the Syrah) in our underground cellar prior to commercial release. This ensures that they are fully integrated by the time they are served.
