Yering Station Pinot Noir Reserve 2023

This wine comes from a barrel selection of the best batches from Blocks Y07 and Y13. The fruit was carefully treated, gravity-fed into small open fermenters, and gently plunged and pumped over. Maturation was in French puncheons (about 16% new) over 10 months. It’s a silky, fine, and effortless wine beginning with an exotic mix of cherry, plum, and bright red fruits on the nose. Lots of spicy strawberry notes and even a touch of crunchy red apple on the palate, with a faint, muted background of light truffle. Fine but firm tannins and precise chalky acidity support a wine of tremendous power and remarkable elegance.
