Place: Yarra Valley, VIC

Variety: Pinot Noir

Farming: Sustainable

If one is sane, the sudden reddening of leaves and the arrival of current vintage Gembrook Hill Pinot Noir are cause for rejoice. After a few very warm months, the wrap of scarf is welcome, and few wines are fit as cosily in the glass as this.

Always a high thread count here, with a surfeit of red-fruit and freshly cut herbs at its core. A welcome introduction to the world of Gembrook Hill—equally a warm return.
