East Coast
Spring Vale Melrose Pinot Noir 2011
|
A mostly Pinot Noir cuvée with a tad of Pinot Meunier sourced almost entirely off an exciting new vineyard on the Tasmanian coast
Melrose Has Been Fashioned To A Lighter Styling
Moderate tannins and light, coconut oak support a lithe, nimble Pinot wine with fine cherry features, savouryness and light herb. An adolescent to be sure, but fleshy enough to pair off with good food. It's lingering expressions of cranberry, spice and ham make it a cinch to enjoy with an hors d'oevre of prosciutto, figs and gruyere.
