Moorooduc Estate Pinot Noir 2022 (Mornington)
Dozen Price: $455.88
RRP: $42.99
The 2022 Moorooduc Estate Pinot Noir showcases a delicate garnet hue and a fragrant aroma of red cherry, macerated strawberries, rose petals, and fresh thyme. Subtle notes of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and star anise add depth to the wine. On the palate, it offers a smooth texture and refreshing flavours of bright red cherry and a blend of clove and cinnamon. Delectable hints of black pepper, rosemary, thyme, and lavender tantalise the taste buds, while the red cherry fruit lingers on the finish. With its balanced tannin structure and lively acidity, this wine is a harmonious delight. It pairs perfectly with a juicy steak and crispy fries, Chinese lacquered roast duck (or chicken), or a flavorful lamb tagine. It also complements a mushroom and tofu stir fry dish beautifully. For those with patience, this wine can age and develop for many years to come.

Winery & Vintage Info
Battered and bruised, a year you had to be brave if you were a grapevine. October and November 2021 were nasty. A significant rainstorm event, along with cold, windy and wet weather throughout this period contributed to what was a tough flowering and fruit set. Damage wasn’t confined to the pollination process, but young leaves and canopies copped a beating, resulting in subsequent lateral growth in canopies. It was a hard year, with meticulous work required in the vineyard throughout. The weather gods decided enough was enough: Summer settled, and mild weather prevailed. Resultant yields were low to say the least, with many areas of vineyards producing less than half their usual quantity. One outcome of the difficult flowering period was the prevalence of smaller berries, resulting from limited set of seeds within berries. This produced wines with intensity and structure from a larger than usual grape skin contribution in the winery. Wines evolved balance and finesse throughout their time in barrel.
