Hochkirch Village Pinot Noir 2024 is a super biodynamic Pinot Noir from the cool-climate Henty region of southwest Victoria — crafted on land farmed by the Nagorcka family for three generations, with vines first planted in 1990 at high density with low fruiting wire to capture maximum warmth in this cold climate. Floral, rich, and full on the nose with a powerful and resonant aroma; attractive sweetness on the palate followed by fine tannins, great structure, and a long, savoury finish. A wine that combines fullness and density with precision and style — quite stylish too, with lovely lingering flavours on the finish. A remarkable expression of Henty’s cool-climate terroir and biodynamic viticulture.
