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.

Semi translucent dark red core with black tinged edges and a bright purple red hue. Perfumed scents of violets, rose petals, cherries and ripe strawberries blossom out of the glass with terrific intensity. Some anise, light forest floor, subtle spicy incense and aromatic herbs also chime in. Delicious ripe dark cherry and strawberry fruits show fantastic drive across the supplely textured palate with elements of anise, forest floor, fresh herbs and spicy cedar adding complexity.

Stonier’s bread and butter range and a good ‘un this vintage. Fruit off grower vineyards but all managed in-house, which gives a level of quality control. This pops and crackles with vitality, good fruit and varietal flavour. Heady aromas are punctuated by red cherries and blood orange doused in exotic spices and fresh herbs. The palate is on the light side of medium bodied with fine tannins and refreshing acidity throughout. A lovely drink. Drink 2032.

Jane Faulkner – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion

A blend of the grower vineyards, a mix of clones. Approximately 20% whole bunch on the sites that sit on volcanic soils, with everything else destemmed. Aged in 500L puncheons of which 8% was new oak. A fragrant celebration of Mornington Peninsula luminous charm, it’s impossible not to be swept away with the gleaming fruit, compact flavour and middle palate pulp and flesh. Cherry compote, plummy goodness and some Gala apple skin. Clove, nigella seed and dewy potting soil. Tannins are sandy and prop up the fruit, before a wash of fresh acidity. It’s immediately satisfying and a delightful drink without food or if you are after a suggestion may I offer the idea of lamb shanks swimming in butter mash. Drink now or will cellar well for 2-4 years. Drink 2025-2029.

How lovely to taste this knowing Stonier is back on track with new owners who love the place and a winemaker, as in Justin Purser, keen to ensure a tradition of making distinctive, high-quality wines can now continue unabated. No better way than to start with a lovely pinot sourced from grower vineyards. Upfront cherries and pips, lightly spiced with blood orange and zest with wafts of forest floor and savoury oak. Sweet fruit, supple tannins and uplifting acidity glide across the palate. It tastes so good. Drink by 2032.

Stonier’s Reserve Pinot Noir is a blend of their best vineyard parcels with the aim to produce a wine that is more complete, balanced and complex that the individual components. From the outstanding 2021 vintage fruit was sourced from the Windmill, KBS and Stonier Family blocks. Each parcel was fermented separately with maturation taking place in French oak puncheons for a period of 9 months. The final blend had a 45% whole bunch component.
Dark red in colour with black shaded edges and a light red hue. Fragrant scents of violet, red to dark cherry, winter strawberry and clove drift through the nostrils with ample intensity. Notes of forest floor, subtle rhubarb and spicy cedar add further interest. Rich and powerful yet beautifully poised the supplely textured palate is layered with cascading waves of spicy dark cherry, strawberry and subtle rhubarb fruits. Very expansive in its feel, notions of toasty cedar, forest floor and dried herbs lend further complexity. Showcasing the varieties hallmark power without weight quality it concludes incredibly moreish with silky smooth tannins and great persistence.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Other Reviews….
As with the Reserve Chardonnay, the fruit for the pinot comes off a mix of top vineyards to create a regional stamp, although the whole bunches added to the ferment (49% all up) has made a most positive mark. Fragrant, lightly stemmy and herbal (but not green), with flavours of red cherries, chinotto, blood orange and sandalwood. Fleshy fruit across the fuller-bodied palate with raw silk tannins holding sway. Incredibly refreshing now, but will garner even more complexity in time. Drink by 2035.

Mike Symons manages this vineyard, one he knows intimately, once part of the Stonier stable while he was chief winemaker there before leaving in ‘22. Stewed cherries and strawberry compote, earthy, twiggy wood smoke, joss sticks and a flash of Chinese five-spice plus lots of blood orange zest and juice. A touch herbal yet juicy on the palate – sinewy tannins and bright acidity very much a feature of this cool/wet vintage. It’s a good wine. Welcome back. Drink 2025-2032.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
From an old MV6 block in Red Hill. 20% new oak, the balance was eight years, or older oak. 49 dozen produced.
This is not dissimilar to the standard Pinot Noir from the same vintage, though there’s a softness and a slightly more comely fruit profile. It’s all poached strawberries and spice, some paprika, mint and red liquorice, floral notes too. It’s medium-bodied, gently smoky with a bacon bone character, fine dusty tannin, and a somewhat smudgy finish of good length. Good wine all up. Drink 2024-2030.

Fruit off three vineyards: 65/25/10% Georgica at Red Hill/Stanley Road, Merricks/Robinson in Tuerong. Destemmed (bar 10% whole bunches in a separate fermenter), cold soak for a week and all gently-does-it before being pressed to French oak (mostly puncheons, 10% new, aged eight months); unfiltered. A note from Mike Symons adds, "one barrel was a bit leesy hence clarity is not perfect, maybe also reflective of my eyesight when racking". Ah, how I have missed you. Nothing wrong with the clarity – this is a light garnet hue. Lots of twiggy/bunchy fragrance and flavour, red and morello cherries, Campari, roasted tomatoes, a bit of exotica with joss sticks and rosewood, balsam fir, too. You have to dig the strong bunchy character to get into this. The palate is lighter framed, yet sinewy tannins and perky acidity work together. Drink 2024-2031.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
A blend of Georgica 65% (Red Hill), Robinson 10% (Tuerong) and Stanley Road 25% (Merricks). Mike Symons talks about his relationship with Will Byron (hot) and Barney Flanders (less hot, but kind of hot), who all help each other out a bit with little fruit parcels they all like. A fruit-loving MP triumvirate here, of sorts. This gets 10% whole bunch, and 10% new oak.
This is a spicy and frisky sort of wine. Strawberry, cherry, smoked paprika and red capsicum, plenty of spice (cardamom in particular), some mint and floral top notes. It’s quite tangy and lively, with a cool spicy feel to it, poached strawberry, a lick of graphite tannin and a bright finish of good length. You have to like them a little more sappy, but it’s good in that style. Drink 2024-2030.

Other Reviews....
An elite microcosm of the Foggy Hill site. The best strip, so to speak. I prefer this to the '17. More integrated, compact, layered and detailed. The tension, curtailing the ripe and inherently sweet fruit. The oak, tannic extract and judicious whole bunch amalgamating as a finely tuned structural skein, corralling the billowing sweet berry fruit, root spice and undergrowth scents. The finish long and generous, yet nothing overt. This is mid-weighted and far from shy, but there is plenty in store embedded in the structural timbre. Drink by 2030.

Ned Goodwin MW - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
There are four hectares of pinot noir growing on the Foggy Hill vineyard; this is from a one-hectare strip. It’s planted at a density of 4444 vines/hectare, using clones 115 and 777, all planted on rootstock.
Firm, ripe and convincing. Cedarwood oak shows keenly but fruit-derived flavours are yet myriad. Dry tobacco, garden herbs, beet notes, a luscious almost jellied berry character, woodsmoke and anise. There’s a smoky, twiggy bitterness to the aftertaste and it’s a most pleasant thing; it helps elevate it. This wine has the structure to age but I’m not convinced its a long termer; the next handful of years though will be good ones. Drink 2022 - 2028.

Other Reviews….
Bramble, briar and black tea aromatics set the scene for a very complex pinot that needs encouragement to release its perfume. Len Evans might well have used his expression of 'an old ladies hand bag' with this silky pinot, joining the ’17 as the best of the Foggy Hill pinots to date. Drink to 2039.

James Halliday's Top 100 Wines of 2022

There’s a lot of spice here, and autumnal effects, and general savouriness/earthiness in there with the fruit. I thought at first that it was peddling a bit too hard, but strangely enough the wine seemed to tighten and become more structural as it breathed, rather than the other way around, and as it did so I was turned more and more in its favour. This is a smoky, spicy Pinot Noir with rhubarb and red cherry flavours flowing into multi-layered sheets of savoured tannin. There’s little doubt that this will develop beautifully. Drink 2024-2029+

A medium cherry brick. Already showing a little, and it should be said, attractive, forest floor note, this is packed with flavour, robust and quite firmly structured. It should only continue to become more complex and softer over the next four to six years. Drink by 2028.

Like many of Te Mata's 2020 reds, this young pup needs a little time to open if drinking now. Once it does, there're elegant aromas of cherry and blueberry fruit, violets and roses, ground black pepper, cloves and a slight meatiness in a well-tucked bed of mocha oak. Tangy red fruit on the silky palate is tightly wound by fine tannins and lifted by a crunch of acidity. A unique Pinot that bears the Te Mata stamp of place, polish, freshness and structure. Drink now with rare duck or better yet or until around 2030.

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.
