Tart red fruit characters offering raspberries and red cherries, this is frame nicely with a line of spice with cinnamon and sandalwood, light approaching medium bodied with lovely spice in the finish.

Since the 1960s Marrenon have been a noteworthy producer in the Rhone Valley and Provence. Their repuation is based on the greatest respect for the environment, innovation and "the terroir, always the terroir!" The Marrenon moto of "Pleasure by Nature" is indicative of their approach to the growing and making of wine. This 100% pinot noir (IGP- Mediterranean) is described by the winery as (having) "an intense nose of black cherry, jammy and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, the attack is of a beautiful smoothness which is prolonged by an explosion of fruit, fine and very pure, which fills the mouth, in concert with a light tannic structure. Carried by its freshness, this dominance of very ripe, slightly kirsch cherry flavour stretches in length, then evolves into notes of toasted hazelnuts on the palate."

After the success and cult following achieved by our St Huberts Stag Yarra Valley Pinot, we decided more people need to drink Pinot Noir, and we needed to venture out of the Yarra. 2017 is the first vintage of our Stag Victorian Pinot Noir. Fruit for this wine was harvested from selected sites, mainly around Yea, with some Beechworth and others in the mix. Picked early to maintain vibrant fruit, and treated respectfully to maintain freshness. Maturation took place in both stainless steel and seasoned French oak. Fresh, supple, fleshy - Pinot for the masses - that sings like Pinot.

The highly regarded champagne producer, Moutard, also have a noteable presence in Burgundy and Cognac.The family produce a pinot noir from the village of Epineuil, which is a small wine producing appellation in the sub-region of Tonnerre in northern Burgundy very close to Chablis. The wine can be described as having intense ruby colour. Notes of cherry, raspberry and black fruits, and the whole is underlined by a subtle mineral note. This complex bouquet is matched in the mouth with wild cherry, wild strawberry, and a touch of liquorice. Supple and silky, full and well-rounded, a very pleasant wine.

D’Anna Middleton Lewis (DML VIN) is a partnership between the D’Anna family, Sam Middleton from Mount Mary and Jordan Lewis. It focuses on single site regional Pinot Noir with the first vintage being released in June 2019.
