Why we love this Wine
This is Xavier Goodridge’s first single vineyard release from a Gippsland Pinot Noir block that he tends to himself. While it’s light in body, it’s by no means inconsequential. Led in by savoury notes and darker fruit, a mid palate of fresh and fragrant red fruit is levelled up by a carefully constructed, intricate structure dotted with sweet spice, hints of burnt orange and something of the farmyard. A real treat.
