Best's Great Western Young Vine Pinot Meunier 2023 x 6
This unique wine comes from our ‘Young Vine’ plantings of Pinot
Meunier which were established in 1970- a century after our “old vine”
plantings and grown from cuttings of those original vines.
Although eminently drinkable now, previous examples of this wine
prove that it will age gracefully for many decades if cellared correctly.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Region: Great Western, Victoria
Grape Variety: Pinot Meunier
Alcohol: 13.0 %
Winemaker: Jacob Parton
TASTING NOTES
Colour
Medium red intensity with a ruby/garnet hue.
Bouquet
A complex bouquet of crushed strawberries,
cherry, spice, and dried herb.
Palate
A fresh vibrant palate filled with red berries,
cherries, and orange peel. This wine is well
balanced with fine tannins and crunchy acidity.
Good to drink in the short term but it should age
well for 7-15 years.
Vintage
Vintage 2023 began with a very wet spring. Rain and
cool temperatures were the theme up until
Christmas. Into the new year, the rain ceased, and
some warmer weather followed. The 2023 vintage
was long and late with the first Pinot Meunier grapes
being harvested in Mid-March. This long cool
vintage allowed fruit flavours to mature, while
natural acidity was retained.
