2019 Provenance Golden Plains Pinot Noir

This moreish Victorian Pinot is produced from a blend of seven different vineyard sites located in Geelong (45%), Ballarat (40%) and Henty (15%). Thirty percent whole bunches were included in the ferment and maturation took place in French oak barriques and puncheons (18% new) for a period of 10 months.
Deep dark red colour with black tinged edges and a bright red hue. Blooming out of the glass are perfumed scents of violets, dark cherries and wild strawberries which meld into hints of anise, fresh herb notes and spicy cedar. Light to medium weighted the palate is amply endowed with rich dark cherry, ripe strawberry and anise flavours which overlay a backdrop of forest floor, infusions of fresh herbs and spicy cedar. Excellent power wave with a supple mouthfeel and silky tannins, it finishes long, ripe and seductive.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 13.5%
