Mattinson review of Provenance Geelong Pinot Noir 2023

Provenance Geelong Pinot Noir 2023
$55, 13.6% alcohol, screwcap, Geelong.

What this wine does is combine – expertly – complex flavour, depth of varietal fruit, and general delicious drinkability. It’s a textbook example of Geelong Pinot Noir at its best and indeed of the high craft of the Provenance crew. It’s grown on a single vineyard, it shows beetroot, earth and spice notes as much as it does red cherry, smoked meats and peppercorns, and at every turn it feels complete. This is, simply, a beautiful wine. 94 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
