2025 Mulline Sutherlands Creek Pinot Noir

Wonderfully fragrant with an elegant, supple palate that displays impressive power and intensity.

Thirty percent whole bunch inclusion with maturation taking place in French oak (30% new) for a period of 8 months.

Dark red in colour with black toned edges and a red to dark red tinged hue. Nosing delivers a wonderfully fragrant bouquet of violet, red to dark cherry, strawberry and more subtle anise scents. Forest floor, clove, brambly cedar and spice notes are also apparent. Elegant and supple, delicious red to dark cherry, strawberry, rhubarb and anise flavours flow across the palate with impressive power and intensity. Lending further complexity are dried herb, forest floor and delicate spicy cedar elements. Polished, seamlessly integrated tannins with a long expansive finish that shows ample freshness.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12%

A single-vineyard wine planted with MV6 and Abel clones in the late '90s; 25% whole bunches. A bright, medium crimson. Whereas the '24 was quite restrained, this is beautifully fragrant from the get-go, with its bouquet of red and black fruits, bramble and lifted florals. The palate is gently mouth-filling with silky tannins that make it a pleasure to drink now but will also ensure it continues to become more complex over the next five to seven years. Drink by 2032.
