Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown Beechworth Pinot Noir 6 Pack

Our second vintage for this wine. Part of our new-ish high-altitude Beechworth range. An earlier-drinking blend comprised of sites across Beechworth, predominantly from our new high-altitude Palmer vineyard in the heart of Stanley. With selections from Brunnen and Indigo vineyards providing a lovely combination of spice and plush red fruit.

A cool, and wet growing season, with ample time for flavour development. Whole berry ferment with gentle maceration, this wine is concentrated and complex yet shows the bright acidity and delicacy of high-altitude Pinot Noir. Savoury spice and tart red fruit softened by a subtle 15% new oak component.

RECENT REVIEWS

“As always, a strong show of red fruit, delicate and lifted, in cherry, plum and spice with just a splash of new oak (25%) to bring it all together. A blend of fruit off the Palmer and Brunnen vineyards, the cold, late vintage has produced a lighter-framed pinot, lean, subtle and fine-tannined, but there's an energy that is undeniable. It's worth tuning into.” Awarded 94 points by Jeni Port, for Halliday Wine Companion.
