94 Pts | The Vintage Journal - Andrew Caillard

Medium deep colour. Attractive strawberry chinotto aromas with vanilla, herb notes. Well concentrated minerally wine with fresh juicy strawberry, red cherry, chinotto flavours, fine loose knit chalky, touch al dente tannins, some roasted walnut notes and underlying linear fresh acidity. Strawberry pastille/ tangy notes at the finish. Very well-balanced wine with surprising buoyancy and mineral length. Drink now – 2027

93 Pts | Oz Wine Review - Andrew Graham

Easy and open. So generous and with lovely red fruit – more MV6 sort of opulence. It doesn’t have the tannins of the big brother, but it does bring seduction. Very tasty and pretty thing. Best drinking: great now.

92 Pts | The Real Review - Huon Hooke

Good depth and hue of colour, lots of chocolate to sniff, plum and dark cherry as well. A bold, straightforward pinot with big structure and final grip. Very good, and some further age would be to advantage here.

VINTAGE: 2021

ORIGIN: Mornington Peninsula, VIC, Australia.

CRAFTING & AGEING: The fruit was harvested by hand then chilled overnight at the winery before destemming and fermenting in open vessels. The must was hand plunged daily to enable gentle extraction of colour and tannin, adding considerable complexity to the wine. The wine was then pressed off then matured for 11 months in a mix of new and seasoned oak barriques from a selection of coopers.

AROMA & PALATE: Delicate floral aromatics the palate bursts with vibrant concentrated cherry fruits, spicy oak and earthy complexity. Fine velvety tannin frames this delicious, long finishing wine.

SERVING & FOOD PAIRING: Rabbit stew, mushroom dishes, poultry, hard cheeses.

THE REGION

Mornington Peninsula

A maritime region about 50km south-east of Melbourne. It is surrounded by ocean and the climate is moderated year-round, with cooling ocean breezes in summer and relatively mild winters.

Soils vary from the red volcanic earth on the spine of hills running down the centre of the peninsula to grey clay loams on the plains.
