Tasting Notes
Kooyong Massale Pinot Noir 2024 opens with an alluring bouquet of red cherry, crushed raspberry, and dried rose petals, underpinned by a whisper of forest floor and warm spice. On the palate, this Mornington Peninsula expression is silky and precise, delivering layers of wild strawberry, pomegranate, and blood orange alongside a subtle earthiness reminiscent of damp clay and dried herbs. The wine's 'massale' selection — drawn from a mix of Pinot Noir clones — lends a compelling textural complexity and aromatic depth that sets it apart from single-clone expressions. Fine-grained tannins frame the mid-palate with elegance, while bright natural acidity keeps everything lifted and vibrant. The finish is long, savoury, and mineral-driven, with lingering notes of dark cherry skin and a faint dusting of five-spice.
