Located just a kilometer from the sea on the Bellarine Peninsula, the site’s volcanic soils and maritime exposure result in what Ben Mullen calls \"fruit hand-grenades\" - tiny, concentrated MV6 bunches that pack a punch despite the cool coastal air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the seaside location usually implies lightness, the 2025 shows plenty of structural intent. Mullen used 30% whole bunches and 30% new French oak to balance that natural concentration. It's given them a wine that is unabashed in its tannic grip but that retains the high-toned, floral perfume characteristic of the site. It trades the simple juiciness of many Geelong Pinots for a more compact and detailed profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhilip Rich awarded this 97+ points, making it the top-rated Pinot of this release. It carries notes of dark cherry and potpourri with a savoury, wild-herb complexity. It’s a serious, concentrated Pinot that manages to stay fresh, offering the kind of structural depth that suggests it will comfortably go the distance in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97+ points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This has real energy on the palate, which is compact and concentrated, yet light on its feet.

Winemaker Ben Mullen attributes this paradox entirely to the granite, which trades the region's typical weight for high-toned fragrance and a finer skeleton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 release features a 30% whole-bunch component and spent eight months in French oak. Mullen uses the Abel clone here (famed for its supposed origins from DRC), which adds a savoury, structural edge to the bright red fruit. It’s a site that rewards Ben’s \"feet on the ground\" approach to value, offering the kind of complexity usually reserved for much more expensive labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhilip Rich awarded it 97 points, noting it is \"beautifully fragrant from the get-go.\" While the 2024 was more wound upp, this vintage is open and silky, balancing brambly spice with a gentle, mouth-filling texture. It is a poised, mineral-driven Pinot that prioritises elegance over power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The palate is gently mouth-filling with silky tannins that make it a pleasure to drink now but will also ensure it continues to become more complex over the next five to seven years.\" \u003cbr\u003e- Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead More\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2025 Mulline Barrabool Pinot Noir\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve followed Ben Mullen’s wines since his first release, and it’s been excellent watching just how quickly he’s shot to one of the top producers in the region. This Barrabool Pinot is one of the highest rated Pinots in VIC this year in the Halliday Wine Companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit comes off Barwon Ridge, planted in 1999 on limestone and deep loam soils, 25% whole bunch in the ferment, older French oak - nothing to get in the way of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s got brightness and spice. Red fruit, a bit of some structure for the cellar if you want to cellar. That said, you can drink it now and this is one of the best-value, premium Pinots coming out of Victoria right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: Ben Mullen is making some of the best vino in VIC right now.

Because of the heavy maritime influence and the slow ripening on the Surf Coast, Ben Mullen is able to push the winemaking a bit further here. He has gone for an assertive whole-bunch inclusion - between 60% and 80%, depending on this parcel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s light on its feet at just 12% alcohol, but it’s packed with detail. By fermenting four different Pinot clones separately, Mullen has built a layer of complexity that moves beyond simple fruit. The stems provide a structural grip and a spicy, forest-floor lift that works perfectly alongside the vineyard’s natural mineral streak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is arguably the most intellectual and savoury Pinot in the lineup. It’s not about primary sweetness; it's about the interplay of red berries, briny minerals, and fine-grained tannins. Polished by eight months in French oak, it remains a finely etched and expressive Pinot that highlights Ben's commitment to showcasing the huge diversity of Geelong's sub-regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96+ points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A concentrated mouthful with dense, chewy tannins that ensure this will just keep getting better over the next six to eight years.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead More\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mulline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56141595083124,"sku":"esb1789953691455","price":144.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5613\/8100\/files\/mulline-single-vineyard-pinot-noir-masterclass-pack_1.webp?v=1789953695","url":"https:\/\/petcameramon.shop\/products\/mulline-single-vineyard-pinot-noir-masterclass-pack","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
