2024 Gembrook Hill Village Pinot Noir

The Village Pinot might be Gembrook Hill’s more approachable offering, but it’s still cut from the same cloth as their flagship wines. All Upper Yarra fruit, same thoughtful, hands-off winemaking, just bottled a little earlier and priced to enjoy more often.

2024 was a cooler, slower vintage, which suited this site down to the ground. Fruit was picked by hand, fermented naturally, and aged in mostly old French oak – nothing fancy, just careful, considered work. The result is a Pinot that’s light on its feet but full of personality.

It’s got that classic Gembrook elegance – bright red berries, a bit of spice, soft earthiness, and really fine tannins. Super drinkable right now, but it’ll hang in the cellar a few years if you want it to.

This is proper Yarra Valley Pinot with no ego – just clean fruit, gentle structure and loads of charm.
