Blood Moon Dream Dash Farms Pinot Noir 2025

A vibrant and juicy cool-climate pinot, lighter in body and tangy, with raspberry fruits, gum-leaf herbaceousness, and supple tannins.

Pinot Noir grapes were sourced from Dash Farm vineyard in Faraday, an elevated, cool valley with granite soils where the fruit ripens slowly and evenly. Wild fermentation took place in tank, with 20% whole bunches, the rest of the fruit gently destemmed over the top. Following a 10-day maceration the wine was pressed to mostly neutral French oak, maturing for 9 months.

Musician and winemaker Matt Aulich started Blood Moon wines with some mates in 2014, before going solo in 2019. He works with fruit sourced from responsible growers in northern, western, and southern Victoria. Small quantities means he can keep an eye on things in the winery, producing wines that require minimal intervention, but are expressive of time and place. He occasionally plays guitar to the vines and the barrels.
