Description

This is Pinot Noir from the Latta family vineyard in Ballarat.

It's proof positive of the efficacy of Owen Latta's singular approach to winemaking and grape-growing. Everything is done slowly, with intent and purpose. The wine is released after some time in bottle to allow the wine to relax. It's a supreme, unique expression of the grape from one of the country's most talented young vignerons.

Owen's Pinot Noirs are distinctly savoury, more 'old-world' in their stylings than the more polished, fruit-forward styles you may see from other Victorian regions.

It's a firm, structural style of Pinot Noir that will develop beautifully with more time in bottle.

"Power and persistence here: an impressive pinot noir with delicious current drinkability and plenty of ageing potential. Superb pinot."

"There’s licks of woody, sweet-nutty seasoning to bolster things, the wine just so in its balance and sense of fruit first, the rest later. Nicely played there. Tannins in a fine, light, crushed rock sheath, gentle but giving boundaries. Overall, it’s moreish and delicious. Fab."
- Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

96 points - "Medium-deep bright red-purple colour; red cherry, smoked charcuterie bouquet, the palate is intense and rich and fills the senses with a delicious fruit-sweet core, firm backbone, ample structure, line and length. Power and persistence here: an impressive pinot noir with delicious current drinkability and plenty of ageing potential. Superb pinot." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

94+ points - "First opened and the wine is quite strict and tight, tense and nervy, flashes of greenery and alpine herbal elements, green olive, briny minerality with a back drop of plush red plum and sweet-sour red cherry. A bit of time later and the wine flips, an inverse kind of feel to that description, red fruits to the fore, a back drop of pleasing brambly, herbal lily. There’s licks of woody, sweet-nutty seasoning to bolster things, the wine just so in its balance and sense of fruit first, the rest later. Nicely played there. Tannins in a fine, light, crushed rock sheath, gentle but giving boundaries. Overall, it’s moreish and delicious. Fab." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
