Oakridge Hazeldene Pinot Noir 2022 750ml

Bright, silky Yarra Valley Pinot Noir from Hazeldene Vineyard with red-fruit purity and savoury spice. Oakridge Hazeldene Pinot Noir 2022 is a single vineyard Yarra Valley Pinot that leans into perfume, purity and fine-boned structure. It’s vibrant and lucid rather than heavy, with juicy red fruits, subtle spice and a gently savoury edge that keeps the palate tight and moreish. Expect a glossy, pretty expression that still carries serious vineyard definition. Halliday Wine Companion - 95 Points  From '98 plantings of MV6 at Gladysdale; 30% whole bunches. Matured in 300L and 500L casks (less than 10% new). Pretty and delicate with its aromas of alpine strawberries, rose petal and spice. More depth than the '21. Impeccably balanced and light on its feet, fine grained and ever so gently chewy tannins round out a wine that's approachable now but will keep. Philip Rich  Tasting Notes Aroma: Alpine strawberry, red cherry and raspberry with rose petal, forest floor and spice. Palate: Bright red fruits (raspberry, dark cherry, pomegranate) layered with earthy/savoury nuances and fine, silky tannins. Finish: Clean, persistent and savoury with gentle spice and freshness. Serving Suggestions Serve at 14–16°C. A short decant (or 20 minutes in the glass) helps the aromatics and savoury detail open up.
