Prince Albert Pinot Noir (2018)

750mL / Geelong, VIC / Australia

Category: Wine
Sub-Category: Red wine

One of our more popular Pinot Noir!  Delicious - so good they didn't need to put a fancy label on it.

Tasting notes:

It has a brilliant granite colour and aromas of chocolate, cherries and sweet cigar box from the oak barrels.

The palate is medium weight with a balance of sweet new oak, ripe cherries, textural fruit tannin and spices.

The intensity of the fruit aromas has moderated is drinking very well now and should do so until 2025 and probably much longer.

About Prince Albert Vineyard:

Prince Albert vineyard occupies 2 ha of arguably one of the best Pinot Noir growing sites in Australia – the north facing slope of the Waurn Ponds Valley.

The top soil is 0.5 meters of terra rossa on top of limestone marl.   It was first used for a vineyard of the same name from 1857 to 1882 and was re-established by Bruce Hyett in 1975.

Now owned and run by David Yates, both the vineyard and winery have been officially certified organic to the Biological Farmers of Australia standards since 1998.

The vineyard's sole production is its single source organic Pinot Noir.
