Bright & Crunchy
The 2023 Balnarring Pinot Noir shows the difference in soil profile from our red volcanic soil in Leongatha, the sandy loam soils offer lifted spices & vibrant blue fruits. Its brambly, and layered, and had great detail and length.
Tasting Note:
‘Vibrant red colour, heady-spice aromas swirling around a fleshy textural core of fruit. Powerful yet fine gravelly tannins, taught and lively finish.’
