This is one of the most exciting Mornington pinots we’ve had at the ‘fo. Last vintage of this had the whole Dealer Team humming with enthusiasm. The fruit and winemaking is just THAT good.
It really is a stunning wine: quite Burgundian in style - a touch lighter, not quite as plush as many New World examples, and with bags of vibrant acidity that guarantees good ageing. But the flavour there is unmistakably Mornington. We’re talking redcurrants and cranberry, with a spicy edge and a trademark salinity that speaks of a region with the sea on three sides. The delicate fruit sweetness hints of grenadine cordial, but any fruit juice notions are reigned in immediately by impressively powdery tannin and a speckling of spice. This wine is built to age and will do so extraordinarily well. Serious pinot for lovers of wine as an art form as much as simply good drinking.
What is a Black Market deal?
Black Market deals are only made possible if we don’t reveal the maker’s brand on site. The wines are the genuine article – absolutely no cleanskins or fake brands, just dangerously good value. You won’t find out what it is until it hits your doorstep, but you won’t regret it. Just keep it on the down low.
