Moorooduc Estate McIntyre Pinot Noir 2021 (Mornington)
Moorooduc Estate McIntyre Pinot Noir 2021 (Mornington)
Dozen Price: $899.88
RRP: $80.00
The 2021 McIntyre Pinot Noir from Moorooduc Estate has a pale ruby hue with a savoury and complex nose that is a little shy at first, but reveals dark cherry, bitter chocolate, violet, blood orange, star anise and a touch of soy. The wine is elegant yet muscular on the palate, with savoury cherry and roast duck notes, firm velvety yet earthy tannins and a bright tangy, almost raspberry like acidity on the finish. This wine is quite closed still and is very structured with excellent length. It will appreciate a good decant before drinking in its youth, or even better for it to have a rest in the cellar for another 5 to 10 years. Some slow cooked duck leg will bring the wine out of its shell however!

Winery & Vintage Info
The 2021 vintage at Moorooduc Estate was blessed with a mild, gentle season with rain events throughout, resulting in excellent fruit set, very little vine stress and a paced ripening of fruit. The mild conditions highlighted the different microclimates in the Moorooduc vineyards, with vintage beginning at the normal time (around the 22nd February), but with little pressure on the winery, as different sites and varieties ripened slowly, extending harvest out to late March across our vineyards in the north of the peninsula. The result: a calm harvest, a composed winery team and bright, vivid wines with beautiful natural acidity, and fine phenolics, weaving structure tightly together.
