2023 Wantirna Estate Lily Pinot Noir

The Lily Pinot Noir comes from three small blocks on the Wantirna Estate vineyard, each picked and fermented separately. The Mature Block, planted in the early 1970s, brings savoury notes and fine tannins. The Front Block adds gentle spice, while the Fruit Tree Block lifts the wine with bright, juicy fruit.

Once blended, these components create a Pinot that’s complex but easy to understand - layered without being showy. The wine spends time in French oak, where it settles and comes together before release.

In 2023, the balance is spot on: red cherry, strawberry and a little orange peel, with a faint herbal note that gives it shape. The texture is smooth and measured, finishing long and fresh.

It’s delicious now and will age gracefully over the next decade.
