Chris Hill Beechworth Pinot Noir 2007 |
|
|
|
|
The cold growing conditions of Beechworth in the Victorian Alps produce elegant, rich Pinot Noir. It’s a notoriously difficult variety to grow and a constant challenge for winemakers, but with careful clonal selection and the right terroir, it produces stunning medium to full bodied wines with layers of flavour and a velvety soft finish. It has a silky texture, juicy richness and supple tannins so typical of this style.
The vineyard was originally planted over ten years ago and is now fully mature producing luscious wines with richness and intensity. I’ve released this batch after only 12 months maturation while the youthful, red berry fruit freshness compliments the gamey, earthy complexity on the mid palate. It’s ready to be enjoyed now until 2012.
It’s a wonderfully food friendly wine that partners with a wide range of dishes but is outstanding with game, poultry and classic slow cooked casseroles.
Additional Notes:
The fruit for this wine was sourced from the same vineyard that supplies a reputable, premium Australian producer. Their Pinot Noir is available at Cellar door for $30.00 per bottle. The same winemaker made this wine
This could simpy be all you ever looked for in a Pinot Noir and had not been able to find!
