2013 Yering Station Scarlett Pinot Noir This wine celebrates the legacy of our technical viticulturist, Nathan Scarlett (1975 - 2013). His pioneering work with precision viticulture and the application of the latest viticultural research to our vineyards led us to isolating the exceptional batch of pinot used in producing this wine. This work continues to guide us in our uncompromising quest for quality. The precision viticulture technology used at Yering Station includes Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Global Information Systems (GIS), soil mapping (EM38) and plant cell density to fully understand spatial variation in the vineyard. This has resulted in identifying the exceptional batch of Pinot Noir within Yering Station’s A Block to produce the Scarlett.
