2023 Bandicoot Run Pinot Noir

Pinot grown at the edge of the West Gippsland ranges... cool-climate country where mist rolls in, the soil holds moisture, and everything ripens at its own pace. 2023 gave Adriana and Al a calm, slow vintage, and this wine reflects that ease: light on its feet but gently and unexpectedly layered. Think bright red cherry, pomegranate, a dusting of spice, and this cool, gravelly edge that feels like rain on warm stone. There’s a little snap from the whole bunch and a little wildness from the carbonic ferments. Fermented clone-by-clone, raised in old barrels, bottled on-site with barely a nudge. One of their best yet.
