Yering Station Estate Pinot Noir 2023, Yering Station, Yarra Valley. This Estate Pinot Noir 2023 opens with beautifully perfumed red and dark cherry, wild strawberry, subtle florals and sweet spice, all very pure and vibrant on the nose. The palate is all about finesse – a juicy core of red and dark cherry framed by mouth-watering cherry-stone bitterness, fine-knit tannins and fresh acidity, finishing long, textural and full of complexity. It is 100% Pinot Noir, matured around 8 months in French oak, sitting in that sweet spot between elegance and intensity, and drinking superbly young with scope to cellar a few years.​
