The Portsea Estate vineyard is located on the century old Tintagel property overlooking Bass Strait at the very tip of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. Its unique ‘terroir’ derives from extensive limestone deposits and a top soil of calcareous sand and humus collected over thousands of years. The free draining, limestone rich soils provide ideal conditions for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to thrive and help produce complex, layered wines of distinct character and minerality.
This 2018 Portsea Estate Pinot Noir is a brilliant example of Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir opening up with lifted aromas of berry fruits, rose petals and a hint of forest floor complexity. Elegant yet well weighted, the palate is seamlessly brought together by balanced acidity, finely grained tannins and extra tight French oak. A high quality Pinot Noir that is sure to offer plenty of drinking pleasure over the coming decade.
