About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of Pinot NoirThis wine could only have come from the hand of Pinot savant William Downie. His Camp Hill Pinot Noir, made in the heart of West Gippsland, is packed with fruit grown at altitude (250m), in a vineyard with panoramic views of Baw Baw Shire. These grapes, from vines planted in 1998, grow with panoramic views of Baw Baw Shire. This is an unexpected Pinot Noir, and it speaks to its unique terroir. The red, volcanic soils impart a refreshing minerality and line of acid on the palate. It’s tight and bright, with citrus, plum and rhubarb on the palate. You’ll notice this unfurl, gracefully, with age.

Oh, Bill Downie. It’s been far too long between drinks – pinot noir specifically. And you come back with this superfine, textural and captivating offering. It has an ethereal quality yet density of flavour, all dark fruit, warming spices, autumnal, complex, floral and alive. Raw silk tannins swooshing like George Constanza’s pants (a Seinfeld reference, check it out on YouTube) across the medium-bodied palate.
