William Downie Cathedral Pinot Noir 2024

William Downie Cathedral Pinot Noir is crafted from vineyards located in the cool-climate region of Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. The maritime influence from the nearby Bass Strait provides a moderating effect, allowing for a longer growing season and the development of complex flavors. This Pinot Noir is fermented using natural yeasts and undergoes minimal intervention, preserving the purity of the fruit. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, which imparts subtle spice and enhances its structure. The result is a medium-bodied wine with bright red fruit notes, balanced acidity, and a silky texture, suitable for immediate enjoyment or short-term cellaring.
