Provenance Geelong Pinot Noir 2024
AU$55, 13.6% alcohol, screwcap, Geelong.
This is a beautiful wine. It’s a celebration of Geelong Pinot Noir. It’s all undergrowth and sweet spice, red and black cherry, smoked meat and cedar – all delivered as one perfumed, harmonious, seamless whole. It’s juicy throughout, firm through the finish, and as well sustained as you could ever hope for. This wine is a definite Yes.
