'Willowlake' 2021 Yarra Valley Pinot Noir
by Wheeler Wines
View producer profile
Upper Yarra Valley Pinot Noir from the outstanding Willowlake Vineyard. Elegant pinot noir from a cooler year in the valley, show aromatics of raspberries, winter strawberries and herbs. The palate is tightly wound with a streak of freshness running through its core of cherry, fresh herbs, forest floor and spice. Polished but still youthfully chewy tannins carry the wine to good length.

Upper Yarra Valley Pinot Noir from the outstanding Willowlake Vineyard (Gladysdale) grown on red and grey volcanic soils. Hand-picked and kept 30% whole bunch, with the balance destemmed to whole berry. Naturally fermented with a total maceration time of three weeks. Matured in French hogsheads for 9 months and further bottle age before release.
Poached strawberry, spice, dried rose, kind of mulchy and autumnal. Light to medium-bodied, ripe strawberry and rhubarb with a twist of blood orange, silty tannin, something of an umami/mushroom character too, and a zesty spicy finish of excellent length. Individual, yes, and also pretty engaging with it. I like it. 94pts Gary Walsh - The Wine Front
