Has an ease to it, suppleness, leaner feel but with good detail and a sense of finesse in tow.

About The Wine
Delightful Pinot Noir here from the ever-reliable Willowlake vineyard in the Yarra Valley.
It's 70% whole bunches, 30% destemmed, all pressed to neutral oak hogsheads and barriques, with minimal sulphur at bottling.
This is Yarra Pinot 101. Vibrant red fruits, adequate florals and spice, ethereal texture and cleansing acidity. Just 80 dozen produced and simply a lovely Pinot.
About Fleet Wines
Fleet Wines is the culmination of 30 years of combined experience in wine hospitality for husband and wife duo Justin and Lisa Jenkins.
They have approached their label with an eye to crafting contemporary, elegant wines that slip neatly into the modern zeitgeist of Australian food and wine culture.
They source their fruit from Gippsland, Mornington Peninsula and the Yarra Valley with an increasing amount being farmed by them personally. With plenty of great press coming their way in a relatively short time, they are one young Victorian label that you'd do well to keep a close eye on.
