Port Phillip Estate is located at Red Hill on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. The maritime climate and southerly latitude combined with the estate’s deep red loam soils are ideal for cool climate viticulture, with Port Phillip consistently producing some of Victoria's leading Pinot Noir. Now in its seventh year, Port Phillip Estate Balnarring Pinot Noir represents the exploration of their second site, located in Balnarring.
The 2018 Port Phillip Estate Balnarring Pinot Noir is another brilliant example of Peninsula Pinot Noir delivering a heady mixture of black cherry and blackcurrant aromas along with some spicy whole-bunch-derived complexity. The palate opens with raspberry flavours and a juicy mid-palate that is well supported by tannin. The broad, powerful finish is capped off with fine mineral intensity and balanced acid. It shows good mid-term ageing potential.
"93 Points. Port Phillip Estate doesn’t get it wrong very often. This 2018 release from the Balnarring sub-region of the Mornington Peninsula is another victory for the label. It’s tangy and tart wth excellent complexity but most of all: drinkability. It slips down easily and well. Sweet beetroot, earth, red cherries and dry, woodsy spice notes. Plenty going on, long lines of flavour, disciplined tannin and a burst of something extra through the finish.
