Structured and robust Geelong Pinot with cranberries, dried meadow flowers, warm herbs and earthy spice.
Structured and robust, this Pinot opens with lifted aromas of cranberries, dried flowers and an undercurrent of earthy spice. The textural palate has nice weight, with dense fruit leaning to darker cherries and the ripe tannins carrying the fruit to a nutty and saline finish.
Pour with lamb kofta dusted with warm, gentle Middle Eastern spice and roasted eggplant, drizzled with a tahini-garlic sauce and a sprinkling of sumac.
About this wine
A bold and unapologetic statement in support of equality and the International Women’s Day, the fruit for this small release Pinot was sourced a single vineyard in Geelong’s Moorabool Valley.
