Australian Pinot Noir
Deakin Estate is no stranger to winemaking. For decades, this Australian winery has been growing grapes on its vineyards. Initially, these grapes were sold, but since the 1980s, Deakin Estate has also been experimenting with winemaking. Classic Australian grapes like Chardonnay and Shiraz are always a guarantee for success. Pinot Noir, on the other hand, is somewhat more challenging to grow, particularly due to the extreme temperatures experienced in Victoria, the province where the winery is located. The vineyards for Pinot Noir are located near Mildura, near the mighty Murray River, ensuring the grapes have access to ample water. Harvesting is done by hand, and after pressing, this Deakin Estate Pinot Noir is aged for several months in oak barrels. This way, Deakin has succeeded in producing a high-quality Pinot Noir that will make your mouth water.
What does the Deakin Estate Pinot Noir taste like?
The aroma is a true sensation. No grape has such a distinct aroma as Pinot Noir. Its characteristic scent rises from the glass. You smell fruits like cherries, strawberries, and red berries. The oak aging also lends complex aromas. Think pepper, a hint of cinnamon, and nuances of vanilla. Your nose constantly encounters new scents. Exciting and curious. The flavor is surprisingly powerful. Your taste buds are tickled by notes of black cherries, red berries, caramel, and coffee. Despite its astonishing power, the wine remains pleasantly drinkable. The flavor is best enjoyed slightly chilled, between 12 and 16 degrees Celsius. Deakin Pinot Noir is a gem from this phenomenal winery. Refined, balanced, and above all elegant.
