Mulline Single Vineyard Portarlington Pinot Noir 2024

The debut Pinot Noir from Mulline’s Portarlington vineyard, shaped by maritime breezes and limestone-rich soils. Wild fermented with 30% whole bunch and matured in 30% new French oak, it offers depth and drive. Red and black cherry, earthy spice and fine tannins combine in a layered, coastal Pinot that speaks clearly of its place.

“A single vineyard located right on the water in Port Arlington. All ’98-planted MV6 clones; 30% whole bunches, 25% new oak. A deep ruby red. Concentrated with dark fruits, earth, licorice root and a little iodine. Similarly rich on the flavoursome, still closed, but even and well-structured palate that finishes with a burst of robust, meaty tannins. It’ll need some time but, rest assured, your patience will be rewarded.” – 96 pts – Halliday Wine Companion
