Pettavel Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2024

There were some outstanding Pinots from the Yarra Valley in 2024, and this one is right up there with the best of them. Typically, a brilliant, red, crimson-y colour leads you into an aroma mix of dominant cherry and a spicy mulberry, slightly raspberry influence. On the palate, there’s a plush, velvety feel, but there’s also tannin in here, balanced with some nice oak treatment, so it has the structure to support all that wonderful fruit. It’s a wine that’s just in its youth now, but it has the structure and poise to handle further cellaring. An excellent wine.
