Long Gully Estate Pinot Noir 2021

Bright crimson in colour, with a rather compelling nose, this single vineyard Pinot Noir from the Yarra Valley is quite brambly. Dry herbs, red fruits, animal skins, this is surprisingly complex for such a young wine and augurs well for its future. If there is new oak here, it has been kept to a minimum. The same applies to the use of whole bunches – everything is in ideal balance with a hint of bacon fat on the palate which is quite silky with soft tannins and good length. Like this a lot and it is undoubtedly a wine with potential. Five years on its ear.
