Mulline Sutherlands Creek Pinot Noir 2024 is an elegant and restrained single-vineyard wine from Geelong’s Strathmore Vineyard. It presents beautifully delicate aromas of red cherry, rose petals, and spices including Sichuan pepper and star anise, with subtle notes of new-oak pencil shavings. The palate is fine-boned and similarly elegant, with superfine and persistent tannins that give it structure without heaviness. The wine continues to develop complexity as it sits in the glass. It was highly praised by Philip Rich in the Halliday Wine Companion and scored 96 points, indicating excellent balance, poise, and aging potential. This is a confident, well-crafted Pinot Noir that balances freshness with depth and finesse.
