Light, bright and ruby-hued, this Yarra beauty is a masterclass in balance and finesse. From the first swirl, it’s all red cherries, cranberry and rose petals, sprinkled with nutmeg and cinnamon spice. It smells like walking into a high-end florist with a spiced pastry in hand - and yes, that’s a compliment. The palate is just as charming. Silky, supple and elegant, with a juicy core of red and black cherries at its heart. Zippy acidity keeping everything lively and fresh, while fine-grained tannins bring the structure and seriousness. It’s no wonder every Yarra producer is trying to make pinot like this. Elegant, expressive and effortlessly enjoyable now, with the bones to reward cellaring through to 2032. This is the kind of wine that converts casual drinkers into pinot fanatics.
