Port Phillip Estate 2025 Morillon Pinot Noir

 

There is something intangible that sets top-notch cool-climate pinot noir apart from other red wines. This one has that X factor. It is a very elegant pinot made from juts 0.4 hectares within Port Phillip Estate's oldest pinot noir block on the Mornington Peninsula, planted back in 1987, so now approaching 40 years of age. The block gives savoury mineral notes to the fruit, giving the wine delightful structure and balance. This is a wine that Tim Perrin has given special attention to. It settled impressively in its own skin, and it would be great to have a couple of bottles in the cellar for the holiday period. This would pair with anything from roast turkey to vegetable tarts. $80. https://www.portphillipestate.com.au/
