William Downie Cathedral Pinot Noir 2024

Gippsland / Victoria // Australia Overall the season across southeastern Australia in 2024 was cool and wet early leading to another season of poor flowering and low yields. The second half of the season, however, was warm and dry giving wines of great depth, aroma and tannin. The Cathedral Pinot Noir sees a blend of Pinot Noir from various parcels - 40% Upper Goulburn, 35% King Valley, 15% Alpine Valleys and 10% Mornington Peninsula, giving opportunity to balance each other. All of the fruit was destemmed and not crushed. Native yeast ferment in wooden and stainless steel vats, then pressed after 3 weeks and then aged in stainless steel. A bright Pinot Noir with notes of berries and rosella!
