Description

This wine comes from the McIntyre home vineyard in Mornington Peninsula, and year after year the fruit from this dry-grown block produces brilliant wines of intensity and structure.

Great fruit weight, with opulent dark berries and a mulchy autumnal element that will deepen with age. There's power and firm tannins, and an overall feel of sheer quality.

The McIntyre Vineyard Pinot Noir is a wine for quiet contemplation not balcony drinking. It will cellar just as well it impresses on release - this is a wonderful wine from a top-flight producer.

    Wonderful example of winemaking

    This would rank in my absolute top picks for Pinot. Fantastic example of winemaking. Highly recommended.

The 2021 Vintage.
The 2021 vintage at Moorooduc Estate was blessed with a mild, gentle season with rain events throughout, resulting in excellent fruit set, very little vine stress and a paced ripening of fruit. The mild conditions highlighted the different microclimates in the Moorooduc vineyards, with vintage beginning at the normal time (around the 22nd February), but with little pressure on the winery, as different sites and varieties ripened slowly, extending harvest out to late March across our vineyards in the north of the peninsula. The result: a calm harvest, a composed winery team and bright, vivid wines with beautiful natural acidity, and fine phenolics, weaving structure tightly together.
