Moorooduc Estate Robinson Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

A classic Robinson Pinot Noir, with fruit purity, intensity and a silky long structured palate line. Bright ruby red with a lifted nose of tangy raspberry fruit and Turkish delight. On the palate there is more crunchy red fruit – concentrated raspberry and red cherry with firm, silky tannins and red berry acidity on the finish. Attractive savoury cedar notes balance the fruit vibrancy.

This wine is made from specially selected fruit from Hugh and Isabelle Robinson’s vineyard on the Old Moorooduc Road. It is 5 km as the crow flies to the south of our family owned vineyard and is 60 m above sea level. Our single vineyard Estate wines celebrate the individual character of certain special sites around the Moorooduc area of the northern Mornington Peninsula.
