2023 FOOTHILLS Pinot Noir

A$50.00

Coming off our Silverwood vineyard established in 1998 home of our Foothills Pinot Noir and Pigface Chardonnay. Planted on a gentle but highly exposed north slope in Balnarring, the eastern most foothills of the Mornington Peninsula.

2023 Vintage was a drier year for a change but the vines were still producing smaller yields. Small compact berries resulted in a fuller body of dark fruits and complexity. Dark and spicy yet quiet light on its feet.

“A spicy and incredibly savoury wine, the Foothills is a bit of a chameleon, changing in the glass as it breathes over a few hours. It opens with red cherry and raspberry, before throwing lashings of beetroot, rhubarb, cardamom and some stemminess, with a damp forest edge giving it an intriguing and highly interesting character. It’s quite easy to drink, particularly when paired with something with a touch of spice, like a curry, while also going down really well with some sharp-tasting cheese. Give it a few more years in bottle for even greater rewards.” 93 Points - Brendan Black, Wine Pilot (Sept 2024)
