Northern Hope Macedon Ranges Pinot Noir 2019 is a medium red wine crafted from a single vineyard using the MV6 clone and a wild yeast ferment, with 8% whole bunches and maturation in 25% new French oak. It shows red cherry and gentle spice with touches of earth on the nose. The palate is supple and builds concentration and impact, featuring red berry fruits, subtle autumnal character, finely textured acidity, and tannins that frame a long, understated finish. Only ~1400 bottles produced; it’s elegant and will continue to evolve for 3–5 years. Rated 93 points.
