2022 Burton McMahon Syme on Yarra Pinot Noir 750ml

This wine is produced from the Syme on Yarra vineyard in the Upper Yarra
Valley. Situated on the red volcanic soils of Seville, this East facing block
produces perfumed, yet structured Pinot Noir.

Burton McMahon is an innovative collaboration between Matt Burton and Dylan McMahon; two winemakers that forged a friendship while driving through the wine regions of France. Together, they source fruit from small, exclusive vineyards in the Yarra Valley to make interesting and unique wines that reflect varietal character and terroir.

Dylan McMahon was on track to become an electronic engineer until he decided to follow his destiny and make wine. His grandfather Dr Peter McMahon planted the first vines at Seville Estate in Victoria’s Yarra Valley in 1972. Dylan spent his first five years working with direction from previous winemakers Alistair Butt and Iain Riggs and has now been Seville Estate’s Winemaker since 2004.

Matt has been involved at various levels of winemaking and wine business management for the last sixteen years. Starting out as a Trainee Winemaker in the Hunter Valley, Matt then gained invaluable experience making wine in the United States and France before heading to Coldstream Hills in the Yarra Valley. In 2003, he finally settled in the Hunter Valley where he was ultimately promoted to the dual role of Winemaker and General Manager at leading boutique winery Gundog Estate.
