Red Claw wines are hand crafted with fruit from Yabby Lake’s own Victorian vineyards – Yabby Lake Vineyard on the Mornington Peninsula and Heathcote Estate in Heathcote. The wines are made following the same principles that guide the single vineyard wines. With Red Claw the emphasis is on making wines that are bright, juicy and more expressive when young.

2022 was a vintage of tiny yields, the lowest in Yabby Lake's history. This was due to severe storms during flowering. However, the positive is the wines are of exceptional quality - they are intense, with incredible balance and persistence. Handpicked with each parcel handled separately in the winery. Hand sorted and carefully destemmed with 10% whole bunches, each parcel went into traditional open fermenters. The wine underwent three days of cold soaking to ensure even and thorough extraction. Batches were left on skins for 5-7 days, after which time they were transferred into French oak (500L puncheons) for 10 months. 

This Red Claw Pinot Noir is bright, juicy and beautifully silky. Crafted following the same principles that guide our Single Vineyard wines. Characteristic perfumed, fragrant aromas highlighted by bright cherry and red fruits, complemented by a touch of spice and underlying French oak. The long, silky palate has lovely elegance and delicacy, a plush, velvety texture and a finely poised finish.
