Buy Kooyong Single Block Meres Pinot Noir 2021 – Premium Australian Red Wine
Elegant, Aromatic Pinot Noir from the Mornington Peninsula
Kooyong Single Block Meres Pinot Noir 2021 is a distinguished single-vineyard wine crafted from a unique 0.57-hectare site of 24-year-old vines located on a gentle north-facing slope in Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. Known for its low-vigour, low-yield vines, the Meres block produces wines of remarkable aromatic complexity, finesse, and depth.
Why Choose Kooyong Single Block Meres Pinot Noir 2021?
Small Yields, Big Character
Grown on a block with less loamy topsoil and more clay subsoil than neighbouring plots, these vines deliver a Pinot Noir with heightened perfume and structure. The natural vineyard exposure contributes to concentrated red fruit flavours and a mineral-driven core, enhanced by a subtle smokiness.
Natural Winemaking with Precision
Fermented spontaneously with ambient yeasts and partial whole bunches in large-format concrete and stainless-steel tanks, the wine underwent a 16-day fermentation. It matured for 14 months in French oak barriques (20% new), completing malolactic fermentation with native flora. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, this is a true expression of terroir and technique.
Tasting Notes – What to Expect
Nose
The wine opens with vivid red and purple raspberry aromas, evolving into sour cherry and subtle smoky notes.
Palate
On the palate, this Pinot Noir is refined yet structured, displaying juicy cherry and red berry flavours underpinned by savoury undertones. The finish is long and focused, driven by fine-grained tannins and a persistent mineral edge.
Food Pairing Suggestions
Perfectly matched with dishes such as duck breast, mushroom risotto, grilled lamb chops, or hard cheeses.
