Complex and pure, more than just varietal a bouquet - layers of texture scents with sense of place and time then fruit aromas of crushed cherry flesh and preserved roses, raspberry and a soft savoury thyme quality. Seamless on the palate with a youthful core structure from fine needle point tannins and acid line, plush velvet mouthfeel with contrasting plum, cherry and even a touch of blueberry fruit... Fantastic wine with best drinking from 2023 through 2030+

Dense, ripe pinot noir with lush floral/rose petal, cassis, mocha, wood smoke, dark chocolate and spicy oak flavours. Quintessentially Bendigo from a favourable vintage. Serious cellaring potential 01 JUN 2022 Drink 2022–2035

A perfumed nose of red cherries, ripe strawberries, grated nutmeg, bark and orange peel. Medium- to full-bodied with silky, tightly-knit tannins. Succulent and generous on the palate with a wash of red and black fruit and berries oscillating and evolving through to a long finish. Oolong and chicory root add complexity and depth. Structured to age. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Purple hue with an incredible floral fragrance and lifted fruit aromas of boysenberry and plum, followed by savoury notes of toasted almond, coffee, and cedar. Flavours of blackberry and cherry on the palate with nutmeg, mushroom, and earthy loam. The palate is voluminous and mouth-filling with silky tannins that build in the mouth giving a long, memorable finish. Powerful yet refined, this is quintessential Bendigo Pinot with a tangy freshness that comes from grapes grown at elevation.
