Staff Tasting: A unanimous choice as one of the best Pinot Noirs we’ve had the pleasure of tasting here at WBW. But be warned – IT NEEDS AIR! Open it up, decant, or at the very least leave the cork off for an hour or so. The flavours multiply after a bit of air time and are well worth the wait. Cherry, raspberry, coffee, mocha, truffles, they’re all there in spades and with a complex tarty, dryness that lengthens the palate perfectly. Such a simple label for such an intriguing wine.
Ripe cherry and underlying wild strawberry rise to the nose from this wine. There are also hints of brioche-like new oak. The mouth feel is round, evenly balanced with truly varietal flavours with spice and fruit combined. The finish is long and concentrated. It will excel with duck served in any style.
Long ago, the soils and climate of the Moorabool Valley, North of Geelong, were recognised by early Swiss Vignerons for their potential in making outstanding wines, following their European traditions. At Sutherlands Creek, close to Bannockburn, the varietal wines we produce provide a striking point of difference with remarkable true-to-form aromatics and taste profile characters that emphasise their ‘old world’, rather than Australian, origins.
