Garagiste Le Stagiaire 2017
Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, AustraliaPeppery raspberry, stewed rhubarb, strawberry leather and an ample splash of Dr. Pepper rule the palate of this Mornington pinot noir. The fruit comes from Balnarring, Tuerong, Merricks and Red Hill, was whole bunch fermented with native yeast, and spent 25 days on skins before ten months in hogsheads (10 percent new). Tannins are nubby / negligible, and sweet strawberry jam and orange rind ride the bittersharp finish out.Tasted: 08 November 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $43.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
