The 2023 Aylward Reserve Pinot Noir is the ultimate expression of Ocean Eight’s signature varietal. Crafted from the finest vineyard parcels on the Mornington Peninsula, it delivers depth, complexity, and elegance that place it among the region’s most distinguished cool-climate reds.

The 2024 vintage reveals fragrant aromas of dark cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle spice. A silky palate of layered red fruits, fine tannins, and mineral undertones leads to a long, graceful finish. Built with both immediacy and longevity in mind, this wine will reward cellaring while offering remarkable poise when enjoyed now.

Presented as a 6-bottle pack, the Aylward Reserve Pinot Noir is a benchmark wine for collectors, connoisseurs, and those who seek the finest expression of Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir.

The grapes for this come from our best acre of vines out of our 17acres. The fruit is meticulously grown and cropped low to ensure high quality and intense concentration. The grapes are 100% de-stemmed and then put into fermentation vats at a low temperature to ensure a slow fermentation to maximise perfume and spice. After 2 weeks of fermentation the skins are pressed off and the wine is gravity fed in to large puncheon barrels of which 30% is new oak.

This was a low cropping year of excellent quality. A wine geared toward lovers of elegant fruit driven pinto noir. If you like Mornington Peninsula pinots then this is one of the highest quality and will not disappoint. There is a small volume of this wine so make sure to get some for the cellar. It will age beautifully for the next 10-12 years
