Stonier Estate Pinot Noir 2024

Winery notes - A blend of Southern Peninsula grower vineyards, this iteration speaks of the balance and enjoyment that great Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir can deliver. The typical varietal aromas of wild strawberry and foraged pine mushrooms are prevalent, but the palate is where the wine shines brightest.

Red dirt, red berry, red flowers. The tannin here rolls through the palate, bringing velvety, smoky fruit with it. This wine is both seductively fruited and seductively savoury. It will lay them down in the aisles. It’s from a north-facing site, but at higher elevation. It’s such a complete, well mannered wine but it has so much going on in both its breadth of flavour and in its texture/tannin. I’ve scored it at 95/100 but I was borderline 96.

95 Points, Campbell Mattinson
