Longview Twin Palms Pinot Noir is a vibrant, elegant red wine from the Adelaide Hills known for its bright red fruit flavors, silky texture, and structured finish. It offers notes of ripe cherry, raspberry, and subtle spice, with a mineral edge of graphite and pumice. The wine is medium-bodied with fine tannins and juicy acidity, making it both enjoyable on its own and a good match for food, like Peking duck.

The No. 8 Pinot Noir displayed a rich medium to very bright red colour. On the nose its fragrant red berry fruit characters have beautiful upright complexity. The flavour has excellent fruit density, with soft mouth filling characteristics. This Pinot Noir has abundant length of bright fruit varietal flavours and texture on the palate; it's complex, complete and with age comes further development.

A bright, light ruby colour. The nose shows pretty and juicy red forest cherry fruits, interwoven with savoury meat notes and crushed meadow herb over a cool earthen base. The palate is bright and savoury but ripely red-fruited, again with the cadences of fresh herb, roast pan juices and iron-rich earth. Spice notes and a lively tannin profile draw the appropriately ripe palate out to length.

Located at Woori Yallock in the upper reaches of the Yarra Valley. Extraordinary north facing vineyard recently purchased by the De Bortoli family from Kate and Stephen Shelmerdine. Planted in 1985, close vine spacing, lots of hard work, deep red basalt soils. Typically produces highly aromatic red fruited Pinot Noir that is seriously charming.

Tight structure, great energy, fine tannins, textural, long gentle flavours. Delicious drinking now but will develop into a wine with even more complexity and interest in 4-5 years.
