An excellent pinot.

About The Wine
The Haven Pinot Noir is a beautiful expression of Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir.
A riot of floral aromatics and a seamless, slippery palate, this is a class act wine that drinks beautifully from day one.
Bright fruit notes marry with aromas of dried spices; it's fleshy and chewy with a powerful finish. It's a stunning example of Pinot Noir, and it gives a comforting warmth with every sip.
About Kooyong Estate
Kooyong is one of the Mornington Peninsula's most iconic wineries, a specialist in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while also making some cracking Pinot Gris.
Their 40 hectare home is in Tuerong, in the north of the region, and consists of five distinct vineyard blocks from which limited quantities of Single Block wines are made when vintage conditions allow.
Their 'entry level' wines, the Clonale Chardonnay and Massale Pinot Noir, offer extremely good value for money and a great snapshot of regional style.
Mornington Peninsula
From The Producer
The Kooyong vineyard is located on the Mornington Peninsula at Tuerong, on Miocene sedimentary soils. Our wines are made from domain grown, handpicked grapes and aim to manifest terroir: the integration of our geology and soils with the macroclimate of our region, the mesoclimates of the various sites within our vineyard and the weather of the annual grape growing season.
Our cultural operations in the vineyard and practices in the winery endeavour to articulate these unique characteristics diligently, respectfully and without artifice.

Critic Reviews
"Red fruits, spicy and earthy, floral too. Medium-bodied, spiced strawberry and sour cherry, tight and quite sappy, fine emery tannin, lively and fresh to close, with a sort of sweet soil thing happening. Really like this. Finely etched, detail and embroidery, or something like that." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
"Medium to light ruby colour with purple tinges, the bouquet shows smoked-smallgoods, mushrooms, a faint trace of reduction, a note of dried flower heads and a trace of oak. The wine is elegant and refined on the tongue; smooth and savoury as it glides towards and long, supple, deliciously lingering finale. An excellent pinot." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)
"Haven always has more grunt than the other 2 single-block pinots. It's a whorl of spiced dark cherries, beetroot and earthy rhubarb, zest of blood orange with sweet and charry oak encompassing all. Full bodied, with lots of tannins yet the palate has some give driven by lively acidity." - Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)
