Mullet South Australia Hard Pinot Noir 2024 (Australia)

Description

Oak, Plum, Spice

Ripe blood plum, blackberry and brown spice fill the space instantly upon opening. This is a super-fragrant wine with incredible fruit power for a Pinot Noir. Round, supple and mouth-filling, this is so slippery and easy to like and drink. Don't hold on, this is ready to go.

Mullet wines deliver bolder ripe fruit flavours up front with a bigger body and mouthfeel driving a big, long finish. Or like any great mullet, it's business at the front, party at the back. Hand-crafted and purpose built, these are wines doing all they can to be big on flavour and big on drinkability. Mullet wines putting good times and enjoyment above all else!

A brilliant vintage for Mullet wines. An early cold period leading to a mild temperature growing season ensured full and even ripeness was achieved across red and white varieties alike. Yields were down, but flavours were bold. These big ripper flavours were bold. These big riper flavours arrived in the berry later in the season allowing for picking at higher Baume resulting in above average ABV.

Selected parcels of the vineyard displaying bigger, riper fruit flavour are handpicked purposely for the blend. Harvested early in the morning to ensure freshness is retained before partial destemming and fermentation in open tub fermenters. Regular plunging to extract colour, tannin and flavour before being transferred to second-use French oak hogsheads for further maturation and integration. Bottled with minimal fuss and minimal handling.
