Description

We’ve followed Ben Mullen’s wines since his first release, and it’s been excellent watching just how quickly he’s shot to one of the top producers in the region. This Barrabool Pinot is one of the highest rated Pinots in VIC this year in the Halliday Wine Companion.

The fruit comes off Barwon Ridge, planted in 1999 on limestone and deep loam soils, 25% whole bunch in the ferment, older French oak - nothing to get in the way of the fruit.

It’s got brightness and spice. Red fruit, a bit of some structure for the cellar if you want to cellar. That said, you can drink it now and this is one of the best-value, premium Pinots coming out of Victoria right now.

We’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: Ben Mullen is making some of the best vino in VIC right now. If you want to test his Pinot stylings, this is a great place to start.

"Gently textured, briary and long on the palate. The tannins are compact and fine and, as good as this is now, this is another '24 Mulline pinot headed for a long and distinguished life." - Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)

A single-vineyard wine from a vineyard in the Barrabool Hills planted in '00 and north facing on limestone; 100% MV6; 25% whole bunches. A very bright crimson. Very pure fruited with its aromas of ripe strawberries and raspberries together with floral notes and a gentle spice. Gently textured, briary and long on the palate. The tannins are compact and fine and, as good as this is now, this is another '24 Mulline pinot headed for a long and distinguished life.

Mulline Wines

Established in 2018 Mulline Vintners is a double dose of Bens, specifically winemaker Ben Mullen and business brain and wine drinker Ben Hine. Mullen has experience from around the globe, and was most recently winemaker at Clyde Park.

They source fruit from around the Geelong area of Victoria with a focus on Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, working with growers farming sustainably and organically. All steps of the winemaking operation are done with a major focus on looking after the environment.

Their first releases from the 2019 vintage were met with some acclaim - they are definitely young guns to watch out for.

To prevent embarrassment and to encourage rapping couplets... Mulline rhymes with “divine”.
