WINE DESCRIPTION
Moorooduc Estate Pinot Noir, hailing from the Mornington Peninsula in Australia, is a standout creation by the esteemed winery, Moorooduc Estate. The vineyards, characterized by their optimal cool-climate conditions, contribute to the exceptional quality of the wine. With yields meticulously kept under 2 tonnes per acre, the hand-harvested grapes undergo a 100% destemmed process and a wild yeast primary fermentation that lasts for 20 days on skins. The winemaking continues with a natural malolactic fermentation in barrels and matures in 100% French oak, 20% of which is new. After 10 months in oak, this Pinot Noir emerges with a distinct character, boasting a harmonious blend of fruitiness, subtle oak influences, and a velvety texture, making it a true reflection of the Mornington Peninsula's terroir.
