Gippsland Pinot Noir | William Downie

Gippsland is aromatic with pretty iris notes and savoury potpourri, on the palette it has a spicy edge, very fine persistent tannins, and a lovely weight to the fruit. Grapes mostly come from a grower just on the south side of the Strzelecki Range, it sometimes includes a barrel or two of declassified fruit from his vineyard or one of the others he farms. It has a slightly different character to the wines from his side of the Strzelecki, but still distinct from Mornington or Yarra.
