The Portsea Estate vineyard is located on the century old Tintagel property overlooking Bass Strait at the very tip of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, in south east Australia. Its unique ‘terroir’ derives from extensive limestone deposits and a top soil of calcareous sand and humus collected over thousands of years.
The free draining, limestone rich soils provide ideal conditions for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to thrive and have produced complex, layered wines of distinct character and minerality.
Excellent colour. By some distance the richest of the Portsea Pinot Noirs in this difficult vintage. It is crammed to the gills with dark berry fruit salad and ripe tannins. The vinification was in the usual vigilant Portsea Estate approach, so this is a statement of place. It is very different to Birthday Hill, but of similar quality - the choice is personal.
