Lane's End L'autre Pinot Noir 2024, Macedon Ranges VIC

Supple tannins with silky red and dark fruits layering through spice and oak. WHAT'S IT LIKE? NOSE - Plum and prune lead with depth, red and dark fruits layering through, spice and woodsy savoury notes meeting French oak with quiet authority. Complex and grounded from the first breath. PALATE - Dark fruit arrives with confidence, the savoury, woodsy character threading through the mid-palate alongside fine spice, French oak lending shape without ever overpowering the fruit. The texture is silky and smooth, tannins supple and unobtrusive, allowing the site itself to take centre stage. The finish is prolonged and considered - the kind that lingers because it has something to say. NOTES - The Macedon Ranges is the coolest grape-growing region on mainland Australia - elevation and wind-chill conspiring to produce small numbers of genuinely high-quality fruit. This is what that climate makes possible: a Pinot Noir of real depth and structure, wild yeast fermented in open tank with 15% whole bunch input, ten months in French oak barriques, and a clear sense that quality was never going to be compromised for volume. Confident, grounded, and entirely site-driven. Cellar it for five years or more and watch the complexity deepen further. This is terroir given room to speak - and the steady hands that knew exactly when to step back. VEGAN FRIENDLY - Like all of our wines, no animal products were used in the making of this wine.
