Mulline Single Vineyard Sutherlands Creek Pinot Noir 2024

This single vineyard Pinot Noir from Sutherlands Creek captures the warmth and structure of the Moorabool Valley. Grown on rocky loams over granite, it was wild fermented with 20% whole bunch and matured in French oak (30% new). It shows dark cherry, plum skin, and subtle spice with a savoury edge and a firm, earthy finish.

“A single-vineyard wine planted with MV6 and Abel clones in the late ’90s; 20% whole bunches. A bright crimson. Elegant and restrained with aromas of red cherry, rose petals and spices such as Sichuan pepper and star anise together with a little new-oak pencil-shaving scents. The palate is similarly elegant and fine boned and I like the way this keeps building as it sits in the glass. The tannins are superfine and persistent. The most reticent, perhaps, of the five single-vineyard wines but a wine that will no doubt age superbly.” – 96 pts – Halliday Wine Companion
