Yering Station Scarlett Pinot Noir 2021

This Yarra Valley Pinot takes you into a heady new zone with its combination of ethereal beauty and immense power. It is the first release of this wine since 2017 and comes off a particular piece of dirt identified some years ago. Aromas of sour cherry and light cracked seashell minerality with a subtle savoury edge. It’s a combination of whole bunch and destemmed fruit which comes together after barrel selection to about 3% whole bunch and 29% new oak. The palate has a firm but super fine structure that delivers to a long, focussed finish. There’s a vibrancy and luminosity here unlike almost any other Aussie Pinot Noir. If you’re serious about you Pinots then this small volume beauty should be on your bucket list.
