You’ll find juicy cherry and raspberry, a touch of forest floor, and a gentle spice that lingers on the finish. The tannins are smooth, the acidity gives it freshness, and the whole thing just feels really well put together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s the kind of wine you want to take your time with – it opens up beautifully in the glass and goes down a treat with food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast duck with five-spice or cherry glaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMushroom and lentil shepherd’s pie \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheese: nutty Gruyère or aged Comté\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Pinot Noir can be tricky – too light and it disappears, too heavy and it loses its charm. This hits the sweet spot. You get purity of fruit, a bit of savoury complexity, and that lovely silkiness that makes good Pinot such a joy to drink.

What started as a hobby soon became one of the region’s leading small producers, known for site-driven wines with depth and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe McIntyre Vineyard is their flagship site – north-facing, with volcanic soils and old vines that produce consistently high-quality fruit. Their daughter Kate is now at the helm, bringing a wealth of experience and a passion for sustainable, hands-off winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinot Noir from this site is wild-fermented with whole bunches, aged in French oak (around a third new), and bottled without fining. The 2019 vintage was a low-yield year, which brought extra intensity and structure to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it’s made:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle vineyard Pinot Noir from the McIntyre site in Mornington Peninsula\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWild yeast fermentation with some whole bunch for spice and structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged in French oak barrels (33% new) for 17 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottled unfined to preserve texture and purity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elegant, savoury Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is top-drawer Aussie Pinot – elegant, expressive and built to develop.
