Gioiello Running Creek Pinot Noir 2025

Fragrant and highly scented Pinot from the Yea Valley on the Goulburn River in Central Victoria. Color has a pale crimson hue with deeper reds and then the nose delivers what is ostensibly Pinot character with that cherry red-fruited raspberry and a fragrant lift of violets and other florals. Palate shows good intensity on medium weight, and the twenty percent new oak has been judged to a nicety to allow the fruit to fully express itself with the support of some fine, slightly chalky tannins. It’s a wine that will develop rather nicely in the shorter term and best while there’s still those vibrant red fruit characters clearly evident.
