  1. Yering Lane Pinot Noir 2023
    Yering Lane Pinot Noir 2023

    Located in the heart of the Yarra Valley in the sub region of Gruyere, Martingale is a first-generation family run vineyard. Focusing predominantly on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah from their 40-acre property of which 20 acres is under vine.

    This new entry level Pinot is about as good as you'll see coming out of the Valley for this price. Generous and packed with varietal flavour, it has a great mouthfeel and bursts with juicy cherry, red plum and subtle spice. PWS

  2. Martingale Estate Pinot Noir 2022
    Martingale Estate Pinot Noir 2022

    Located in the heart of the Yarra Valley in the sub-region of Gruyere, Martingale is a first-generation family run vineyard and now wine label.

    An open and inviting nose with hints if underbrush and red fruits to the fore. Sour cherry, raspberry, and a bit of savoury spice pull you in. There is a lovely ease and softness on the palate that is off-set with that savoury hint and that Yarra underbrush poking its head through again. Not too heavy, not too light, just right. PWS

  3. Wickhams Road Yea Pinot Noir 2023
    Wickhams Road Yea Pinot Noir 2023

    I forget what Franco said on his little back label spiel, as I’ve given the bottle away, though it was something along the lines of ‘High acidity from this site, so no need for adds’.

    It’s a bit spicy and mulchy, poached strawberry and raspberry, a little mint and floral perfume. It’s crisp, sappy, lively, a smudgy feel to tannin, slightly smoky and tobacco-laced, with a juicy finish of good length, gentle dusty tannin trailing. Nice.. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front

    Cooler and drier than their Hoddles Creek vineyards, this Yea Valley pinot is the most reticent and fine-boned of this year's three Wickhams pinots. A light, bright red, this has scents of redcurrants, a little strawberry and blood orange. The palate is compact and very nicely balanced, with gently grippy tannins suggesting that this will need another six to 12 months to unfurl and grow into itself.

  4. P & A Vin de France Pinot Noir Cuvee Reserve 2021
    P & A Vin de France Pinot Noir Cuvee Reserve 2021
    The P & V wines are from our friend and Burgundy madman Nicolas Potel. These are the wines that epitomise the term vin-de-soif. These are absolutely gluggable, definitely chillable and straight-up delicious fair from the southern reached of France where Nicolas, via is network of winemaking legends sources fruit from top growers.

    Dried cranberries and spiced black and red cherries on the nose are tempered by faint notes of earth. Its cushioned core offers just the right amount of flesh for a mid-weight style, a spine of savoury tannins corrals the flow of fruit nicely. Its pinot DNA is on full show here as details are threaded throughout its delivery. Signs off with a fine tail of silty tannins. GABRIELLE POY

  5. De Bortoli Estate Pinot Noir 2023
    De Bortoli Estate Pinot Noir 2023
    From three, mainly south and east facing sites, all planted in the early 1990's. A light, bright ruby red. Red plum, cherries and pomegranate combine with some crushed flowers and white pepper in this stylish and, always, well priced wine. The palate is light to medium bodied with those aforementioned red fruits, some underbrush and very fine, persistent tannins. PHILIP RICH, Halliday Wine Companion

    The Estate Vineyard wines are elegant, handcrafted wines that reflect the unique characters of the De Bortoli Yarra Valley Estate in Dixons Creek where this essentially single vineyard wines from mature vine is made with minimal handling and thoughtful winemaking. Exceptional quality
    with a distinct sense of place.

    There is a lovely smokey cedary thing going on here, its really inviting giving the pure red fruits and soft sweet spices a lovely counterpoint. A touch of darky cherry and a little wild strawberry as well. That smoky things continues on the palate with combo of black and red forest fruits to the fore and a little garrigue like finish that close it out. It looks pretty serious in some sense but at the same time easy to drink, keeping you come back for more.

  6. Amen Break Cabernet Franc 2021
    Amen Break Cabernet Franc 2021
    There's certainly a bustle in the hedgerow here, with blackberry, black raspberry, leaf, dried roses and pencils. Medium-bodied, cool acidity, a distinctly 'mineral' feel, intense small berried dark fruit, graphite tannin, a little sundried tomato and raspberry pip, and a spicy and gently bitter amaro/sappy finish of excellent length. Tight and crunchy, and very good to drink. I like it a lot. (93+) GARY WALSH, The Wien Front

    We've featured the wines of under the Amen Break label a lot here and there is a reason why - they rock. Hailing from a small village in east of Australia called New Zealand the Clonal Brothers are Matt and Steve Harrop and together they are a lethal winemaking combination. One of the most sampled drum patterns music nerds will recognise this as a 6- to 7-second (4-bar) drum solo performed by Gregory Sylvester "G. C.". Coleman in the song "Amen, Brother" performed by the 1960s funk and soul outfit The Winstons.

  7. Rob Hall Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023
    Rob Hall Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023

    A blend of Harriet's Vineyard, Healesville, Boat O'Craigo Vineyard, Healesville, Nenagh Park, Willowlake Vineyard, Gladysdale.

    Lovely aromatic lift and intensity here with a rainbow of red fruits; cherry, black and red raspberries, currants and wild strawberries. Open and easy-going palate that belies the subtle complexity but makes it such a joy. Long slippery palate with sweet red fruits and strawberry coulis on the finish sprinkled with fresh spice and a light peppery note. It's tougher and tougher to find pinot of this level at this price and last years was a hit too so, well done to the crew at Rob Hall for knocking another gem out.

    Mainly destemmed with a small amount of whole bunches. Matured, mainly, in seasoned hogheads and puncheons. A very light crimson. Fruit-forward aromas of gently poached red fruits, spices and light floral notes. The palate is similarly easygoing, with soft tannins rounding out an early-drinking, good-value Yarra pinot.

  8. Silent Way Pinot Noir 2023
    Silent Way Pinot Noir 2023
    Delicate sweet spices and ripe bramble fruit, seductive fresh raspberry with that classic inland-Vic pinot medium fruit weight. A lovely savoury line runs the course of the wine, bringing a sense of seriousness. Approachable and easily loveable. A wine for everyone. KAYLEEN, pws

    Lots of spice and dried herb note, garrigue-almost thing going on, medium body, liquorice, strawberry and red apple peel lift, a hint of blue fruit and rose with a sappy, chalky, juicy texture. Very pretty and highly drinkable. Go and make friends. KASIA SOBIESIAK, the wine front

  9. Hoddles Creek Estate Pinot Noir 2023
    Hoddles Creek Estate Pinot Noir 2023
    Lovely amount of perfume this year, in with red cherry and other red fruits, some cinnamon, almond, vanilla, and assorted spice from oak, subtle earthiness with a little dried herb too. It's medium-bodied, kind of light, but gee, there's no shortage of depth and concentration either. It has bright acidity, fine tannin grip, and a lively finish of excellent length. It took me one smell, and one sip, to know that I really like this vintage. A little more fine-boned. Classic styling, if you will. GARY WALSH

    Kooyong Pinot Noir 2019 375ml

    Kooyong, owned by Giorgio and Dianne Gjergja, released its first wines in 2001. The vineyard is planted to pinot noir (20ha), chardonnay (10.4ha) and, more recently, pinot gris (3ha). In July '15, following the departure of Sandro Mosele, his assistant of six years, Glen Hayley, was appointed to take his place. The Kooyong wines are made at the state-of-the-art winery of Port Phillip Estate, also owned by the Gjergjas. JAMES HALLIDAY

    The estate Pinot Noir from one of the Mornington Peninsula’s flag bearers.

    It’s a wine defined by its shape. It angles towards the finish and then pushes on out; the pulleys are in place from the beginning. Twiggy spice, a general woody/savouriness, dark cherry and a light coating of cedar. I wouldn’t call it taut but I would call it firm and indeed strict. It’s as though the wine’s flavour run on converging rails. It’ll be a better drink in a year or more. CAMPBELL MATTINSON

  11. Pacha Mama Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2021
    Pacha Mama Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2021
    The Inca earth goddess who brings fruit to the vine and joy to the world. Pacha Mama, is a small family owned wine company established in 2010. Whilst new to the market, it's new in name only. Made by Pacha's new wine making duo Nina Stocker and Callie Jemmeson, these wines are a knockout.

    This fruit was sourced from the Full Moon Vineyard in the sub region of Gladysdale in the Upper Yarra Valley. Planted in 2001 on chocolate coloured volcanic soils on a gentle west facing slope. Meticulously managed and tendered to by Simon Harte.  Cropping at 2.5-3T/acre they have been working closely with Simon for the past 7 years to get the best from this single vineyard.

    Crunchy red berries, subtle spicy oak and earthy undertones. Has that Yarra underbrush and Autumn leaves thing going on backed by those fresh red currant/raspberry fruit. Medium-bodied with loads of juicy fresh strawberries and cranberries layered with fine silky tannins and crisp acidity. What a banger!

  12. Mulline Nouveau 2022
    Mulline Nouveau 2022
    Fresh berried fruit, pure and delicious, with floral and exotic spice notes adding polish. This is both mouthwatering and silken at once, no mean feat. There’s a kind of ‘liquid roses’ aspect to this that is most attractive. Great drinking, in a light-to-mid-weight style. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front

    This is the venture of Ben Mullen and business partner Ben Hine - Mulline. Get it!? Ben's focus is on sites in and around Geelong where he already has years under his belt at some of the regions best wineries. Pinot and chardonnay are the focus of course with a smattering of other varietals in the range. The 'nouveau' is intended to be an early drinking easy going style with a touch of whole bunch and just the tiniest kiss of older oak.

  13. Eminence 'Cute Brut' Zero Dosage Rose NV
    Eminence 'Cute Brut' Zero Dosage Rose NV
    The fruit for this was handpicked and gently whole bunch pressed, before being transferred to old French oak for fermentation. No yeast, enzyme or nutrient was added and the ferment was kept at around 15 degrees to preserve aromatics. After primary ferment, the barrels had a small sulphur addition before resting over winter on the yeast lees. 11 months later, we assembled a blend of 38% pinot noir (white base wine), 2% pinot noir red wine (for that lovely colour), 30% chardonnay and 30% pinot meunier. The chardonnay was a blend of vintages, but the pinots were 2019 base wine - so this wine must be labelled NV.  After fermenting again (creating the bubbles!) It was then aged on lees for 30 months before being disgorged with zero dosage.

  14. Coldstream Hills Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2017
    Coldstream Hills Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2017
    52.7/47.3% pinot noir/chardonnay. Approximately five years on lees and disgorged with 6.5 g/L dosage. A bright straw green. This is very fine on the nose with delicate aromas of apples, white peaches, freshly poached red fruits, brioche and a little hazelnut. The palate is equally refined, and this builds nicely with its gentle creaminess and fine bead before finishing taut and long. A refined Aussie sparkling. PHILIP RICH, Halliday Wine Companion

  15. Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021 375ml
    Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021 375ml

    2021 was a vintage of exceptional quality.  A wet winter, mild spring and temperate summer produced wines that will live long in the memory and in the cellar.  The wines are fine, focused, beautifully balanced and above all, utterly delicious. This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is intense and complex, super fine and silky. 

    A bright and dense crimson colour. The aromas are intense and complex for a young wine - red fruits, raspberry, red currant with dark cherries, coupled with a floral and spicy note. The palate is super fine and silky with layers of flavour and texture leading to a long and bold finish. Cellar for at least five years, and preferably more than 10.

  16. Escarpment 'Noir' Pinot Noir 2021
    Escarpment 'Noir' Pinot Noir 2021
    This an immediately appealing perfume here, with bright red fruits interlaced with savoury herbs and bitter orange citrus. There's a burst of energy and vitality on the palate with those lush, ripe cherry and strawberry fruits spliced with succulent acidity. Perhaps the real star here though are the tannins which rise up from under that fruit, dense, fine and polished as the wine tapers leaving a lovely delicate spice on the finish.  ALEX DOBSON, PWS

    This has fragrant fruit with notes of raspberries, pomegranate, orange slices, cloves and herbs. Tightly-wound tannins support a fresh and wild core of berry fruit and herbs. JAMES SUCKLING

  17. Fromm Naturele Pinot Noir 2022
    Fromm Naturele Pinot Noir 2022
    There’s a lovely perfume and purity of fruit that touches the senses first. Black Doris plums and dark cherries sit nicely alongside scents of stone and clay, dark florals and a whisper of vineyard spice. Dry, fresh, fruity, youthful, there’s some tautness from fruit tannins and acidity then flavours that reflect the bouquet. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2027+.

  18. Onannon Mornington Pinot Noir 2023
    Onannon Mornington Pinot Noir 2023

    Fruit comes off seven sites across the peninsula, some of which make up the single-vineyard wines, and this very much the sum of its parts. It’s excellent. Aromatic, enticing, savoury and spicy, full of cherries and pips, Middle Eastern spices, a hint of mint and just a skerrick of oak. Medium bodied, laced with supple tannins and mouth-watering acidity. It fits the bill perfectly for a drink-now pinot. (95) JANE FAULKNER, James Halliday’s Wine Companion

    Strawberry, raspberry, spice, roses, just a little autumnal and earthy.  It’s bright and frisky, juicy red fruit and blueberry flavour, some sage and mint, fine-grained dusty tannin, a pleasant sappiness, with a lively spicy finish of good length. Plenty of energy and refreshment. Good now, likely better next year. GARY WALSH

    A mix of vineyards and clones from the Lusatia Park vineyard in Woori Yallock. Bright cherry red. An immediately appealing wine with its dark cherry fruit, lavender and incense. This has good weight and depth without being heavy. A touch savoury, too, and the tannins are silky and long. Already a joy to drink, this will still be looking good four to six years from now.
