Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023 from the Mornington Peninsula is a beautifully expressive estate Pinot, drawn from select blocks and clones to capture a cool, late‑ripening La Niña season in pure, finely detailed form. This 2023 Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Pinot Noir walks that sweet spot between elegance and quiet power.

The nose is lifted and complex with damson plum, wild raspberry, redcurrant and blood orange, layered with potpourri, violets, dried herbs, five‑spice and a touch of smoky reduction. The palate is medium‑bodied and silky, showing coiled intensity – red fruits, cherry and chinotto spice wrapped in fine‑grained tannins and bright acidity, tightening and gaining depth as it opens in the glass.

This Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023 is tailor‑made for duck with cherries, roast chicken and herbs, pork belly, mushroom ragù on polenta or simply a good charcuterie spread. It also shines with hard cheeses and game bird dishes, and will reward cellaring for 10–15 years as its texture and savoury complexity evolve.
