Located on the Mornington Peninsula, Kooyong is a specialist Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producer; their Massale Pinot Noir consistently delivers one of the region's best value examples.
Produced from a blend of estate grown Pinot Noir parcels from Kooyong's Tuerong and Balnarring vineyards, the 2023 Kooyong Massale Pinot Noir offers a youthful perfume of black cherry, wild summer berries and dried rose petal. On the palate, the wine is deep, medium-bodied and layered with flavours of cherry and cranberry, soft pillowy tannins and excellent length and fruit purity.
"93 Points. It’s spicy, a little wheaty and nutty, cherry and plum, some dried herb and slightly rubbery things, orange rind too. Medium-bodied, it has something of a cool ‘mineral’ feel, with grainy graphite tannin, some sap in with the bright cherry, rhubarb and strawberry on a finish of good length. It’s a complex wine, not your run-of-the-mill Pinot Noir for sure, and it’s good to drink. Tasted: May24 13% alc. $38 Screwcap Drink: 2024 - 2029+"- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
