Pinot Noir

While we continue to expand our collection of Burgundies, more and more new-world winemakers are coming to terms with this challenging variety. Australians have identified Geelong, the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria as suited to premium Pinot Noir. More recently, Tasmania has shot up the ranks. Mount Mary, Farr Rising and Tolpuddle are names to seek out. New Zealand is also producing some compelling, full bodied wines. Look for regions like Martinborough, Marlborough and Central Otago.

2017 Simon Bize Savigny-les-Beaune Rouge

Burgundy, FRANCE
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Domaine Simon Bize et Fils has to be one of the best kept secrets in Burgundy today. Famed for producing wines with impressive capacity for cellaring, under the care of Chisa Bize the wines are also more dynamic and show greater aromatic detail. The Domaine has some of the oldest average vine age anywhere in the Cote d'Or, and Chisa practices her amalgam of organics and biodynamics coined as "Bize-dynamics". Yields are kept low, and winemaking utilises a high percentage of whole-cluster fermentation.

Other Reviews....
The 2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune Village contains nearly 90% whole bunch fruit. It has a clean, precise bouquet, open and transparent, featuring red cherry and raspberry preserve aromas. The supple, medium-bodied palate offers chalky tannin and a light spiciness toward the approachable, charming finish.
88 Points
Vinous

A more complex if not prettier nose combines notes of raspberry, cherry, earth and humus. The succulent yet nicely precise middle weight flavors possess good depth and persistence on the balanced finish.

Quite deep in colour with a dark red core, black tinged edges and a bright dark red hue. Blossoming from the glass are perfumed aromatics of violets, sour and red cherries, subtle clove, fresh herbs and faint forest floor notes. Light in body and possessing a fresh feel, an elegant mix of red and sour cherry fruits are carried by vibrant acidity with elements of forest floor, fresh herb infusions and spice also chiming in. Finely grained well integrated tannins with a refined and lively aftertaste.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

Other Reviews....
This is aromatically cooler and a bit more restrained though not quite as complex with its elegant blend of red currant, violet, plum and soft earth hints. I very much like the silky mouth feel of the more obviously mineral-inflected flavors that deliver fine length on the mildly austere finale. This is presently less complex than the best in the range but the delivery is absolutely lovely and if more depth develops this could be excellent in time.

The 2017 Bourgogne Les Perrières is also excellent, wafting from the glass with a classic Bize bouquet of spicy plums, cherries and rose petals. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, ample and succulent, with fine chalky tannins and a subtly and mouthwateringly bitter finish.

Light, clear crimson hue; plum and cherry (both red and black); the wine has length and balance, its fruits trimmed by a savoury/foresty edge.

This wine has a beautiful perfume, with a pink peppercorn lift and ripe, bitter-sweet black cherry flavour. Herbaceous theme with a tone of red liquorice Campari, stuffing of cranberries, cinnamon and other woody spices as a topping. The palate is juicy with plenty of impact, wet clay tannins and a blood orange type of acidity. Cooked up well. Drink 2025-2030.

2022 Southern Light Vineyards Ghostgum Vineyard Main Ridge Pinot Noir

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$79. 99
Bottle
$959.88 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Diam Cork

Southern Light Vineyards is dedicated exclusively to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, drawn from four distinct vineyard sites across Victoria. Their first release comes from the Ghostgum Vineyard in Main Ridge, with future bottlings to follow from their other sites. The winery, located in Healesville in the Yarra Valley, is purpose-built for small-batch winemaking, where a no-compromise, holistic approach guides every step from vineyard to bottle. Backed by over 50 years of experience across three generations of Joval Wines, Southern Light represents the culmination of a lifelong pursuit of fine wine.
Sourced from low-yielding vines in Main Ridge (just 2.6t/ha), this Pinot reflects a cool, storm-affected vintage that delivered intensity and concentration. Around 60% whole bunch was used across four parcels, matured 10 months in French oak before bottling unfined and unfiltered. Vibrant, perfumed and finely structured, it’s a strikingly pure expression of Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir.
Alc. 13%
Other Reviews....
Pitiful yields in ’22 meant Anthony Fikkers made the wine he liked the best: fruit off four blocks, four clones, fermented as one with 10% whole bunches, which still packs a punch; 10 months in French hogsheads, 20% new. It’s such an intriguing wine. An austere style, which is totally legit, full of sichuan pepper, poached rhubarb, a little ashy and stemmy, plus an array of cherry accents. There’s also a strong chinotto flavour with salted, dried Chinese plums. Mid-weighted, a fineness to the tannins, the palate awash with sweet-ish fruit, which offsets the charred radicchio/bitter finish. It will only garner more complexity with age. Drink 2024-2030.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
These Ghostgum wines come from the Main Ridge area of the Mornington Peninsula. I prefer the chardonnay though there are things going on with this 2022 Pinot Noir that make you want to keep returning to it.
This wine is reductive and backward and, as a result, you need to sit with it for a bit. Its charms are not immediately apparent. It carries an iodine note, and the flesh of red cherries, and seaweed-like herbs, and sweet strawberry-wrapped-in-cedar. It’s firm and spicy, a little smoky, and definitely surly. It would be easy to pass this over, in its youth, but there’s something about this wine’s structure and depth that makes you think that it has something good in store for the future. Drink 2026-2032.
93+ Points
Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front
From main Ridge in Mornington comes this thoroughly delightful Pinot Noir. Picked from four blocks with different clones used. The 115 and 777 were picked and fermented together with 10% whole bunch, the D2V5 was 100% whole bunch fermented and the MV6 was completely destemmed. Eventually pressed to French hogsheads and then bottled without fining or filtering. Engaging aromas of sweet raspberry and edgier dark cherry with a slightly iron filings cut to the mushroomy characters. Palate is sublimely integrated with a smooth satiny feel of almost lamb’s wool-like qualities. Lovely wine. Drink 2024-2034.

Other Reviews….
Among the highest elevation vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula, basalt-derived and non-irrigated. Very good mid-weighted pinot noir, hedging its structural hand with a card of typical strawberry succulence and fruit sweetness, a tingle of whole bunch garden herb thrums against a birdcage of wiry, yet svelte tannin, compressing any overlay of fruit into a sense of savoriness and tension. A little sweet, to be churlish, but New World drinkers will find it far more moreish than most. There is a great deal to like about this promising inaugural release, while looking forward to future ones. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

The 2023 Pinot Noir comes exclusively from Stargazer's own vineyards in the Tea Tree sub-region of the Coal River Valley, where two separate parcels were planted in 2002 and 2017 respectively. The vineyard is composed of different clones, with most being G5V12 or Wadenswil, with some Abel, 115, 777, and MV6 clones added from the 2017 planting. The fruit is hand-picked, and destemmed (with 20% kept as whole bunches) to vats, where they undergo a cold soak for three days before fermentation begins. After primary fermentation, the must is pressed to French oak puncheons (with 25% being new), where it matures on lees for 8 months before being transferred, racked, and blended in a tank for a further rest of 10 weeks before bottling.

Other Reviews....
Bing cherry, rose petal, lilac and gritty hints of whole-bunch influence, from dill, peppercorn and a smoky streak of mezcal across the fibrous finish. A little distracting now, perhaps. Yet will integrate nobly with time due to the extract, density and plush refinement of the finish, never straying into excessive sweetness or medicinal notes as with too many regional pinots. A very good, mid-weighted pinot. It will only get better. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Tasmania like Burgundy has a truly cool climate, making it an ideal location to grow Pinot Noir.

Bright, sour cherry like acidity provides freshness with sturdily built tannins lending ample structure. Slightly robust yet long conclusion.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Other Reviews….
Benchmark pinot from this celebrated, biodynamic estate vineyard in the Derwent Valley. A gorgeous core of exact black cherries and blackberries. Confident support from French oak brings impressive scaffolding of firm, fine, mineral tannins. The finish holds good (if not excellent) length, but may build with age. It certainly has the stamina to endure long. Drink by 2034.

Other Reviews....
Fanciest fruit from best blocks, the best of show pedigree kind. It’s all BD down there at SLW in Taswegia, as we know. The quality seeming to rise and rise in recent years. Been a while between visits.
Any way you come at this you see quality. Tannins are light but shapes things well, oak is spicy and seasons gently, fruit is powerful but refined, cruise control and then some. Fragant as well, pickled and fresh cherries, woody, smoky spice and new leather, some black olive in the mix, turned, fresh earth. An earthiness to taste too but delivered in the veins of a sinewy muscle of dark berry/cherry fruitiness and lifted on brightness and coolness. Taut, long, luxurious. Beautiful pinot. Drink 2022 - 2035.

An obsession with a fickle varietal.

Once you experience it, you never forget it. For some wine lovers, Pinot Noir becomes an obsession. While promising one of world's greatest wine experiences, it can also deliver some of the most disappointing. What is it about Pinot that makes it so frustratingly variable? There are known quality factors which offer encouragement to winemakers. Micro-climates have been observed to play an important part in a successful matrix, particularly the diurnal temperature range. Pinot Noir is a little like Riesling, in the sense that it requires warm, but not overly hot days and cool nights to fully develop its maximum flavour potential. Sunshine hours, rainfall, time and rate of precipitation are all important. Countering this is the fact that the same clone will not respond to differences in micro-climate in the same way. Older vines make better wines. Creative and adaptive viticultural management and winemaking are essential. Buy Pinot Noir online. Any questions about our products or shipping? Please feel free to get in touch by calling us directly on 1800 069 295 or by emailing [email protected] and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Browse and buy Pinot Noir online, spend more than $200 and you'll qualify for free delivery to most of Australia.
