Nestled in the undulating hills of Oakbank, the Estate vineyards were planted by the Downer family in 1998. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2023 Murdoch Hill Apollo Pinot Noir is the fourth release of this wine, with the 2023 made from grapes grown on the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efamily’s recently acquired Lenswood Vineyard. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis opens with lifted perfume of red fruits, dark cherry and savoury spice. The mouth-watering palate delivers impeccable fruit purity, impressive weight and a velvety texture with silky tannins. A stunning example of Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir that has attracted high acclaim, our limited stocks will not last long. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bodyText-YiK\"\u003e\"96 Points. This is comprised entirely of Lenswood fruit and the average vine age is 30-plus years. I anticipate the release of this wine from Murdoch Hill's 'space' series each year. Medium weight with dialled-up concentration, raspberry, apple fruit leather, subtle clove and cinnamon spice, an earthy moss character with dried leaves strewn atop. The tannins pull everything inward, concentrating the flavours of the wine further, suggesting a long life ahead. A beautiful reminder and promise of the potential of the region.\"- Katrina Butler, \u003cspan class=\"name-9uZ\"\u003eHalliday Wine Companion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"dot-mIi\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"createdAt-3vF\"\u003e24 February 2025.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bodyText-YiK\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"createdAt-3vF\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\"95 Points. Lifted and perfumed on the nose, with aromas of raspberries, wild strawberries, cassia bark and earth. The palate is medium-bodied with finely integrated acidity and tannins, giving notes of dark cherries, dried herbs and graphite. Wonderfully constructed with an underlying power. Excellent. Drink or hold.
