About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of Pinot NoirMornington Peninsula, AustraliaTricia Byrnes and Kevin Bell from Hurley first planted vines at their Balnarring property in 1998 with the sole intention of creating three single vineyard pinot noirs. Their philosophy centres around respect of the environment as they see their most important role is viticulture. This is a luscious wine, smelling intensely of blueberries, dark plums, earth and cake spice. The palate is full and smooth with many layers of complexity enveloped in a rich, creamy texture. Ripe and generous but very well balanced, this is a classic Lodestone from an excellent vintage. As with the others, the oak here is classy and judicious.

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Medium to full red colour with a tint of purple. The bouquet holds attractive dark cherry, cola and char-oak aromas, the flavours are superbly deep and concentrated in the mouth, with serious dimension and amplitude. It really fills the mouth and lingers long on the finish. The tannins are measured and fine-grained, adding just the right grip and drying sensation on the lingering aftertaste. A stylish pinot.
