Willow Creek are a small but dedicated winemaking estate of a mere dozen hectares spread out across three slopes of undulating hills at Merricks North, in the renowned cool ripening climes of Mornington. Perfect ripening conditions encourage the retention of aromatics in the fruit while developing good natural sugars. Vines are planted to grey unirrigated loam soils on an east facing slopes just opposite the winery and cellar. Grapes are harvested by hand and treated to a whole bunch press to retain pristine fruit characters and minimise phenolic extraction. Juices are cold settled before a transfer to a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels for fermentation and eleven months maturation.
 
Pale straw with green hues. Intense lemon aromas are framed by a complex almond, mineral and subtle oak bouquet. The palate reflects the nose with persistent citrus flavours, balanced by almond meal nuttiness and creamy texture from the lees ageing. Crisp natural acidity and a mineral length give the wine a tight structure which will continue to evolve and reward.

Originally a large mixed farm, the historic red brick homestead dates back to the 1880s. There were remnants of it's past life scattered all over the property indicating that over time it has served as an orchard, dairy and sheep farm. The Homestead Block was planted to Pinot Noir in the late 1980s. Grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed and crushed, vinified in small fermenters with gentle cap management to extract maximum colour and quality tannins from the skins and seeds. After a total of sixteen days on skins to build structure, the batches are pressed and transferred immediately to a combination of new and prior use French oak barrels for the completion of malolactic and eleven months maturation.
 
Medium garnet hue. Black cherry and chocolate with earthy/beetroot complexity and subtle French oak. Quite rich cherry fruit upfront, with more complex herb and earthy flavours and French oak flavours building on the length of the palate. The wine has a silky texture and good middle palate volume with very fine grained tannins giving grip to the finish.
