Description

Tom and Sally Belford have always marched to their own beat in the Yarra, and their 2024 Pinot Noir from the steep, gravelly slopes of Nenagh Park shows exactly why we love their hands-off approach.

Sitting right under the Christmas Hills escarpment, this site naturally coaxes out great perfume and drive, which the Belfords frame beautifully without any unnecessary cellar polish. They opted for a heavy whole-bunch component (around 80%), letting it wild-ferment slow and cool to lock in those wild, crunchy aromatics. 

The nose is really lifted, showing rosehip and rhubarb alongside dry herbs and crushed granite. It feels raw, pure and unforced. The palate is mid-weighted and structural, carried by lovely feathery tannins and an earthy, fine-grained finish. It is an authentic, highly textured style that proves why Bobar has such a cult following.

Another lovely Bobar Pinot here and a sign of how far this label has come over the years. Only a small amount produced.

From the highest slopes at the Nenagh Park vineyard under the Christmas Hills escarpment where the soil is richest in gravel.

80% whole bunch macerated, with the remainder destemmed. Cool long ferments for gentle extraction and 9 months maturation in mature French oak barriques and hogsheads on fine lees. Bottled unfined and unfiltered

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
