2025 Bellvale Pinot Noir

Light, fresh and juicy with impressive power.

Semi translucent ruby red colour with black toned edges and a bright crimson red tinged hue. Fragrant scents of violet, red cherry and strawberry blossom out of the glass followed by fresh herb, forest floor and delicate spicy cedar notes. Light, fresh and juicy, red cherry, strawberry and red liquorice fruits bounce across the palate underscored by a refined background of forest floor, fresh herbs and subtle spicy cedar. Energetic acidity and polished tannins with a long, vibrant, red fruited finish of impressive power.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews….
This is very promising. It’s also very good buying. There’s often something about Gippsland Pinot Noir that just has that extra in-built hard-to-put-your-finger-on complexity.
This smells the goods and backs the promise up on the palate. It’s a light-and-insistent style but there’s plenty going on and it’s beautifully well sustained. Flavour-wise this wine is built on fruit and undergrowth with spice, orange rind and earth-like notes studded within. It has (fine) tannin, it has texture, it has X-factor. Drink 2026-2033.
