Kooyong Single Block Nord Pinot Noir 2024

In their words -  The 2024 Nord Pinot Noir is bright and expressive, revealing aromas of dark cherry, pomegranate and wild raspberry layered with dried flowers, blood orange and exotic spice.

The palate is vibrant and finely detailed, balancing pure red and dark fruits with silky tannins and fresh natural acidity. Energetic yet composed, it carries impressive length, finishing with lingering notes of dark cherry, blood orange and gentle spice.

While approachable now, this wine will reward careful cellaring over the medium term as it continues to evolve in depth and character.

Critics thoughts - It’s from Kooyong’s close-planted block, planted on the North side of the estate. The vine density here is 5800 vines per hectare. Excellent wine. Complex, powerful and sustained. Spicy up front and in general though strawberry and black cherry characters push confidently throughout. There’s a keen ‘sweet earth’ aspect to this wine. There’s a firm, savoury-studded tannin structure. There’s fruit, there’s length. It’s a banger.  95 Points WineFront Campbell Mattinson
