DESCRIPTION
A pioneer in the low-intervention field, William Downie has been producing wines for his own label since 2003. William Downie wines are always true expressions of their region, brimming with personality, and this Pinot Noir is no exception. Aromatic and balanced, the palate combines typical Pinot fruit notes of blackberry, cherry and raspberry with spices and earthiness. A dense and dark palate is brightened by fruitiness and gentle tannins - a showstopping example of a natural Mornington peninsula (that's near Melbourne) Pinot Noir done right. A perfect fit for a cheese platter, a charcuterie board or grilled meats.
REGION
Gippsland
Australia
The Gippsland region lies in southern Australia, east of the Melbourne suburbs, in the state of Victoria. This wine area covers 187 hectares, mainly planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Shiraz. Thanks to its microclimates, the region grows grapes in varied styles, always with elegance and structure. The white wines in particular are very aromatic. Pinot Noir from South Gippsland is recognised across Australia as a benchmark. Its attack is delicate, but it is long and intense on the palate.
Recommended for you:
The Cathedral Pinot Noir embodies William Downie's excellence with its aromas of black cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry. Its silky palate with fine tannins offers remarkable elegance.
