Belle Reserve Pinot Noir 2023

$135.00
Vendor: Mondillo

Available

A velvety Pinot Noir with grace and elegance, the Belle Reserve is deeply coloured, with concentrated fruit purity and power. Enjoy - Saluté

The 2023 Bendigo growing season was a mixed vintage of three seasons. Warm temperatures at the beginning of summer, followed by cooler days and an early Autumn. The beauty of our site at Bendigo meant we were able to harvest early while the fruit was at optimum ripeness. The result of the ever-changing weather patterns produced an absolutely stellar vintage.

The fruit was 100% de-stemmed followed by a long cold maceration, fermented slowly, gently pressed and put to barrel. The wine has been filtered and is un-fined. Aged in French oak barriques for 17 months.

Limited Edition: 800 Bottles Only

Drink/Cellar: Now until 2030

96/100 Points, Cameron Douglas MS
"A focused and complex bouquet with a clear sense of vintage and site. Aromas of strawberry and cherry, dark red berries and plum, followed by wood smoke and barrel spice complexities. Elegant, complex, and dry on the palate, with polished tannins and a plush acid line. Fruit flavours mirror the bouquet, while tannins from both fruit and wood, along with a ripe and pristine acid line, frame the mouthfeel seamlessly. Well made, complex, and still youthful."
