Deep ruby in color, this Pinot Noir greets the nose with vibrant raspberry and cranberry, layered with plummy undertones and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it wraps the mouth in a warm embrace, offering mouth-coating tannins, fresh fruit, and savory complexity. The finish is long and warming, reflecting the exceptional 2023 Bendigo vintage with ripe concentration, bright freshness, and fine acidity. Bold yet balanced, this wine is immediately engaging while promising to reward a decade or more in bottle.

Food Pairing: Wild Forest Mushroom Risotto, Herb Crusted Bendigo Lamb

Expert review

“It's wonderfully expressed on the nose with aromas of dark plum, sweet cherry, thyme, game, and roasted almond. The palate delivers a plump mouthfeel, fleshy texture, and polished tannins, making it splendidly structured and harmonious with a persistent, satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2035.”
