Terra Felix Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023

From Yarra Valley vines which are twenty years old, the clones here are a majority of MV6 (80%) and the remainder Pommard. Maturation for this wine was for a year, in French oak, half of it new. Crimson/russet with a pale rim, the nose reveals notes of leaf litter, raspberries, soy, spices, cherries and dried herbs. There is a touch of animal hide and bacon fat evident as well. A soft texture through to sleek tannins, the wine is of medium length and will provide pleasure over the next half dozen years.
