Stumpy Gully Pinot Noir year_1998 generational vineyard workTasting notes from the producer: A bold expression of Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir, echoing the effects of a dry, ripe vintage and low crop yields. Ripe plum and strawberry notes dominate the aroma, enhanced by hints of spicy oak. On the palate, the wine exhibits impressive depth, with a harmonious balance of fruitiness and acidity, alongside earthy, spicy nuances contributed by toasted oak.
