Fetherston Fungi Yarra Pinot Noir 2024

While 15% of this wine is sourced from the Seville sub-region in the Yarra Valley, the majority comes from the School Lane Vineyard at Tarrawarra. Fermentation was done in three different batches, including a small quantity which was 100% whole bunch pressed. Pressing was to French oak, 4% of it new, with maturation for the following eight months. Quite a pale ruby/crimson hue, this is a generous style of Pinot Noir. There are notes of florals, raspberries, cherries and dry herbs on the nose. A soft and supple texture with a lingering finish, there’s a lot to like here. A line of fine acidity runs the journey through to satiny tannins. The palate sees the emergence of a touch of cloves and cold tea. Will drink very nicely over the next three to six years.
