I smiled instantly when trying this wine for it has had something different done to it that we don't see very often. This Pinot Noir from the Yarra Valley has used some Carbonic Maceration to ferment it (like Beaujolais does). I love Beaujolais and this took me back to the little hamlets amidst the granite hills north of Lyon. The Pinot has loads of sweet fruit, and I mean heaps. It is forward, really juicy, fresh, pretty and moreish. I'd love it with something roasted, or cooked for hours, it can handle strong food, and something charry too. I picture standing around a fire, wrapped in a blanket drinking buckets of this wine and having a great time, not least because the wine made me so happy but because its simplicity is so refreshing. Expect something a little different, and expect to pay around $21, and expect to smile!
