Variety: Pinot Noir

Region: Geelong

Tasting Notes: Strawberry & cherry
This wine is elegant and shows spice and lifted strawberry / cherry flavours with forest floor aromas. It has ample fruit with a dry, savoury edge.

Background Information: $10 Pinot Noir’s don’t grow on trees, and especially ones from cool climate Victorian regions. This is unless you shop with 6J’s.
This wine was made for a NSW wine agency. Due to tough times the agency are reluctant to take their full quota for this vintage. Their wholesale price to the trade in NSW will be $129 + GST a case. Now that works out to be $11.80 a bottle. Don’t forget that’s wholesale, that’s not retail. In Sydney, where margins are normally higher than Melbourne the shelf price probably would be around the $16 - $18 mark.
The wine was made from fruit sourced from three small vineyards in the Geelong region. The winemaker worked with small batch ferments and quality French oak.
