Doug’s vineyard is located in the cool sub region of Romsey on the north side of Mt Macedon and sits at an elevation of 530m. It was planted in 2000 to a mix of clones predominantly MV6 along with 114 and 115. Situated on a hill with a North orientation the soil is volcanic rocky red basalt.
The 2023 Pinot Noir smells of rose petals, raspberries, currants, forest floor and brown spices. The palate is bright and charming, with freshness, depth and fruit flavours which are balanced with fine tannins. There are cherries and oak elements in the mouth along with a bursting red fruit energy. One of the hallmarks of this wine is the length of flavour. This is an incredibly refreshing yet complex wine that will cellar gracefully.
