2022 Empire of Dirt Going Like Elsie Pinot Noir, Geelong

The name comes from the dramatic crescendo line in the title song of movie/musical Cabaret with the phenomenal Liza Minelli (lyrics at the end). This is a movie that brings back fond memories of my grandmother who was certainly a character who lived large. She would babysit us as kids in a sexy 60’s style catsuit sherry in hand, giving us packets of chips and lime ice cream spiders the second our parents left, and showing us many questionable, age inappropriate movies like Gallipoli, The Towering Inferno, Jaws, Rocky Horror show, and of course Cabaret.

Going like Elsie 2022 is five clones of Pinot noir from a single vineyard in the Moorabool Valley, 25% whole bunch, 20% new oak, and so delicious.
