Description
This is Pinot Noir from the Latta family vineyard in Ballarat.
It's proof positive of the efficacy of Owen Latta's singular approach to winemaking and grape-growing. Everything is done slowly, with intent and purpose. The wine is released after some time in bottle to allow the wine to relax. It's a supreme, unique expression of the grape from one of the country's most talented young vignerons.
Owen's Pinot Noirs are distinctly savoury, more 'old-world' in their stylings than the more polished, fruit-forward styles you may see from other Victorian regions.
It's a firm, structural style of Pinot Noir that will develop beautifully with more time in bottle.

"Power and persistence here: an impressive pinot noir with delicious current drinkability and plenty of ageing potential. Superb pinot."

"There’s licks of woody, sweet-nutty seasoning to bolster things, the wine just so in its balance and sense of fruit first, the rest later. Nicely played there. Tannins in a fine, light, crushed rock sheath, gentle but giving boundaries. Overall, it’s moreish and delicious. Fab."
