2023 Bellvale Estate Pinot Noir, Gippsland

This classically-styled pinot noir shows upfront raspberry and wild strawberry notes with complex, savoury spices such as clove and anise. Well-proportioned oak frames the background of dense, dark plums, briar and blackberry fruit. The palate is full and balanced, with plenty of polished tannin and an excellent, upright structure carrying a dense core of powerful fruit. The wine builds to a crescendo on the finish, persisting with delicious loganberry and spice flavours. The balanced structure and fine tannins make this an excellent match with a broad range of foods.
