First up, a Yarra Pinot from a cracking vintage. Of course, winemaker Kate Goodman has experience with just that from her time at Punt Road. The grapes underwent whole berry fermentation in seasoned French oak.

A smooth and silky texture with fine acidity, the palate moves more to strawberry and cherry flavours. This is attractive now and should remain so for at least another three to four years. 91.
