2022 William Downie 'Camp Hill' Pinot Noir. Gippsland-VIC. 750ml.
This site was planted in 1998 at 250m elevation and is considered the highest point between the Strzelecki and Great Dividing Ranges. The vineyard faces north with almost 360 degree views of Baw Baw Shire. Most of the vines are MV6 with a couple of rows of 115. It is dry grown and certified organic in conversion. The red volcanic soils have a little more rock than the Bull Swamp site and the wine is finer and more delicate as a result. This wine shows aromas of raspberry and redcurrant with rose petals, wattle flower and confited rhubarb. The palate is concentrated but fine with flavours of red fruits, bitter almond, bone broth and ironstone.
