Description
The 2022 Applecross Pinot Noir from Bicknell FC is Dave Bicknell and Nicky Harris’s love letter to the cool-climate elegance of the Yarra Valley.
Sourced from their meticulously revitalised block in Gladysdale, this is a Pinot that celebrates purity and poise with every sip. Crafted with a delicate hand - just 20% whole bunches and minimal new oak - this wine radiates with the site’s natural beauty.
It’s light-to-medium bodied, with a very red-fruited and fragrant nose, and hints of alpine flowers and gentle spice. The palate is finely structured with ‘al dente’ tannins and a burst of bright acidity, making it a joy to drink now but also primed for a bit of cellaring.
With its pedigree and Dave’s talent behind it, this is high-quality Yarra Valley Pinot at its most honest and approachable. A brilliant choice for Pinot lovers looking for something precise, perfumed, and effortlessly charming.

"Red-fruited and perfumed with its dusting of alpine flowers and gentle spice. Light to medium bodied with well-judged, fine-grained, 'al dente' tannins and the bright acidity that's always been the hallmark of wines from this cool site. A joy to drink now and over the next few years.
