Melville Pinot Noir Estate - 2023 (750ml)

Winemaker's Notes:

The intoxicating aromatics of rose petals, native sage, blood orange rind, and black cherry are followed by notes of incense, Indian spices, and crushed rocks, paving the way for a bright and fresh initial response on the palate. The richness of the fruit is elegantly balanced with fine tannins that gives the wine its seamless texture.

Creamy berry fruit, leather, tobacco and cedar join together in a seamless package as the 2023 Pinot Noir Estate makes its opening arguments. It delivers much concentration and energy, all wrapped in tingly blood orange acids and flickers of flinty, smoky reduction. The 2023 is deeply complex and perfectly melded together. Best of all, it's a fantastic value. - Billy Norris August 2025

Tasted just three weeks after its bottling, the 2023 Pinot Noir Estate is already showing beautifully. The nose presents powerful dark fruit and citrus peel aromas with spry energy, notes that are mirrored on the silky, refined palate. It finishes with a lovely balance between saturated fruits and a powdery, subtly drying structure. I look forward to checking back on this after a bit more time in bottle. Matthew Luczy
