“Stunning.” - JancisRobinson.com, 17.5 points

A real humdinger of a Pinot Noir from Geelong (pronounced Jia Long), a thriving wine region southwest of Melbourne. It’s deep and rich and silky, the sort of style you might expect to find in Central Otago (Felton Road springs to mind) with glossy black and purple berries and the warmth of sun-kissed plum skins with lots of fine detail in its layers of barrel-aged flavours (cinnamon toast, vanilla, ground spices). Unequivocally delicious even on day 2 and day 3 after opening. 13% alc. Vegan-friendly. Drink now-2036.

Press review:

JancisRobinson.com: “Long fermentation with up to 60% whole-bunch. Intoxicating scent that majors on the fecund herbal complexity of whole-bunch fermentation. Baking spices, rhubarb, cranberry and redcurrant. Utterly engaging – it retains light body but delivers outrageous complexity, from decomposing vegetal/beetroot funk to vibrant young fruit. Stunning.
