Elanto Vineyard Pinot Noir 2024

Region: Mornington Peninsula Grapes: Pinot Noir First Glance: Heady, Perfumed, Wild Strawberry, Spices Acclaim: 97pts The Review: Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion - 97pts "What a beguiling wine – only the second release and showing complexity far beyond its years. It’s certainly youthful and pretty with heady aromas of florals and autumn leaves with flavours of wild strawberries, dark cherries and pips, chinotto, Middle Eastern spices and some poached rhubarb, too. The medium-bodied palate is evenly poised, laden with filigree tannins (lots of them) and energising acidity; oak (25% new) completely integrated. This has depth, some grip, a little amaro bitterness on the finish and, of utmost importance, it will age but it’s oh-so pleasing to drink today."
