Austins Estate Pinot Noir 2006, Geelong

The Producer

Richard Austin planted 150 acres of vines with the single-minded determination to produce the best pinot noir in the world. Austins now has 90 acres of Pinot Noir at Sutherlands Creek. It is believed this is the second largest family holding of the variety in Australia. The bonus for Richard and his family is that the soil and climate at Sutherlands Creek also does well with Riesling, Chardonnay and Shiraz. In fact, all three are prominent in their own right. “While the reviews and trophies are mounting, the best way to understand the philosophy and determination behind the Austins brand is to taste the wine.” - Wine Spectator Magazine

The Wine

Classy cool climate Chardonnay from South East Victoria on the coast. Delicate citrus flavours with good fruit concentration but also ample freshness to keep the wine structured. One of Australia's more interesting Chardonnay examples.

Single Bottle: £15.99
