Yarra Yering Pinot Noir 2023

From the start in 1969, a mix of clones were planted and then added to with subsequent plantings in ’81 and ’84. This has turned out to be a mighty fine wine from this difficult vintage. It’s light bodied but beautifully fragrant and deeply flavoursome. Lovely rose petal and violets are typical of this variety while a mix of spices and lightly chalky characters work into the palate. Light-bodied, yes, but this has the structure and pedigree to handle extended cellaring.
