Description

The Brunnen vineyard is set amongst spectacular Australian bushland high on the hill behind Beechworth. Its high altitude and rugged soils make a perfect setting for high-class Burgundian varieties, like this Pinot Noir.

This is a gorgeous, thought-provoking style of Pinot that has gotten better and better each season Tessa and Jeremy have been tending to this fruit. It has remarkable fruit purity, accents of earth, herbs and spice, and an elegance to it that is often missing in Beechworth Pinot Noir.

This is one of the finest examples of Pinot Noir to be found from the region and highly worth investigating for lovers of quality Pinot.

    Superb drop

    A lovely full bodied Pinot Noir, with nice dryness in the middle pallete. Some unusual flavours not typically found in Pinot Noir make this a different but exceptional wine.

Cherry-garnet hue. A complex nose combining sweet spiced rhubarb, strawberry and sappy cherry, autumn leaves and perhaps a light mushroom stock edge.

The palate is red-fruited, bright and savoury, edging into sourer red-curranty berry fruits, with a wave of barky cinnamon sweet spice. It’s all of the red fruits, and all of the evocative spices. It’s a delicious flourish.

Vignerons Schmölzer & Brown

Tessa and Jeremy are playing a long-game with their Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown label.

They have invested in a block of land high in the hills behind Beechworth and have planted 10,000 vines on it over the last couple of years with the plan to farm it organically. Tessa has a wealth of experience from time at Sorrenberg and Kooyong, Jeremy is an architect by trade with an eye for detail.

It comes as no surprise that the buzz around this husband and wife team is palpable and the praise is high. Max Allen called them, “one of a remarkable number of impressive new wine labels to have cropped up in Beechworth over the last five years.”

They are going to be at the forefront of Beechworth wine for many years to come.
