(New South Wales) This stands as an excellent example of Pinot Noir at a very modest price point. Helped by a little bit of Shiraz this has a lovely full and rich mouthfeel and fine tannins. Top stuff.
(Central Otago NZ) A smart new offering from this exuberant Kiwi wine company. Sourced from a premium ultra cool climate Central Otago vineyard this is a fragrant well balanced and utterly drinkable example of great value Pinot Noir. Great stuff.
(Tasmania) 'Wild heady and floral with fresh penetrative aromas. It's slightly minty palate of juicy summer pudding-like berry fruit is deliciously penetrative and stylish. With more structure and depth than previous vintages it is supported by firmish fine-grained tannin. (Southern Tasmania $30 retail approx. 17.8/92 drink 2008-2011)' Jeremy Oliver
(Berridale Southern Tasmania) One of the Tasmanian pioneers Moorilla produce a Pinot that combines meaty powerful Pinot characters with the edge of sophistication that comes from cool Antarctic weather influences. This comes from a very very fine Tassie vintage to boot.
(Yarra Valley Vic) Vintage During the season of the 2006 vintage we experienced a warm dry summer which advanced berry development and the ripening process. The fruit remained vibrant and healthy through the season and was harvested in beautiful condition. Harvest was slightly early due to the warmth of the season vine health assisted in acid retention and flavour development was parallel with sugar ripeness. Picking was in from the 20th February to the 8th of March for the Reserve Pinot Noir with yields averaging 5 tonnes per hectare. The warmer season also brought smaller crops smaller berries and loose bunches.The difficulty in this vintage was avoiding jammy flavours in Pinot Noir. Maintaining a good canopy through the heat is important to avoid sunburn on the fruit and overripe flavours from shrivelled berries. In the winery the fruit was handled very gently during thefermentation to avoid overextraction.WinemakingOur Pinot Noir is all hand picked before destemming into open pot fermenters. We did no cold soak during 2006 as the must had wonderful colour and flavour from the beginning. During ferment the fruit was hand plunged once per day with occasional pumping over. At dryness the wines were pressed and settled before transfer into barrel for malolactic fermentation. All French oak is used (about 25% new) from a variety of coopers.TastingThe colour is quite deep with cherry hues. The aroma is of ripe black fruits with some toasty overtones. The palate has excellent structure the wine is full-flavoured reflecting the warm year yet it retains its vibrant fruit. The weight and structure are balanced in length and intensity. The wine has many layers and will age well for a number of years.
