Description / Reviews
"Blended from across six vineyards located on the Golden Plains that run west from Melbourne this wine showcases south-west Victoria’s great match of country and climate to Pinot Noir. 32% from our two Scotsburn vineyards at 500m elevation. 57% was grown across three sites in Geelong’s Moorabool Valley and the Bellarine Peninsula. The final 11% was grown at Drumborg part of the far south-west Victorian region of Henty. A site significantly influenced by the cold Great Southern Ocean. A bright ruby red in the glass, with complex aromas of fragrant herbs, fresh red cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle spice tones. Elegant, fine, and medium-bodied, the palate is classic cool-climate Pinot Noir. Red cherry and plum sweetness are matched with delicate winemaking elements and a savoury mineral note. The tannin and fresh natural acidity provide line and contrast to counter the natural fruit ripeness on the long finish." - Sam Vogel, Winemaker
"A light, bright crimson ruby. Immediately engaging, this literally leaps out of the glass with its melange of freshly poached strawberry, bing cherry and rose petals. It equally good, too, on the mouth-filling – without being heavy – palate. Finishes with succulent and persistent tannins. I can see this becoming softer and more complex in the medium term." - 94 Points, Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
