$339.00 GST Included
AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED
Kooyong Estate Pinot Noir comprises fruit from our Meres, Haven, and Ferrous blocks. It offers an overall expression of the Kooyong vineyard, with parcels of fruit from various soils and mesoclimates blended together to create the Estate label. Year after year the same parcels are consistently chosen, giving this wine an underlying likeness across vintages.
The fruit was fermented in a combination of large-format oak foudre, large-format concrete tanks and stainless-steel tanks. Fermentation commenced spontaneously with ambient yeasts, included a proportion of whole bunches and lasted 16 to 18 days. Following fermentation, the wine was pressed and racked into French oak barriques (20% of which were new) and puncheons and underwent indigenous malolactic fermentation. The maturation period was 12 months. The wine was bottled without fining and with minimal filtration.
The aromatic and expressive nose offers black cherry, floral and barrel-derived spice notes, together with complexing scents of citrus and lavender. There is a suppleness to the mid-palate, that offers flavours of pomegranate as well as earthier characters. Fine tannin provides structural support, which leads, with length and directness, to a pleasing forest fruit and sour cherry finish. This wine will greatly reward mid-term cellaring.
“Light purple-red colour, bright and youthful, with aromas of raspberry fruit gums and and lean, narrow palate with slightly pinched flavour and then a tightly closed finish. A straightforward pinot that might open up more with a little extra time in bottle. The flavours on show now are attractive.” – 90 Points, Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

Description
About Kooyong Estate
The Kooyong vineyard is located on the Mornington Peninsula at Tuerong, on Miocene sedimentary soils. Our wines are made from domain grown, handpicked grapes and aim to manifest terroir: the integration of our geology and soils with the macroclimate of our region, the mesoclimates of the various sites within our vineyard and the weather of the annual grape growing season.
Our cultural operations in the vineyard and practices in the winery endeavour to articulate these unique characteristics diligently, respectfully and without artifice.
An architectural landmark and one of the most exciting food and wine destinations in Australia, Kooyong Wines is located at Port Phillip Estate.
