Batista Estate Angelina 2021. A beautiful elegant cherry Pinot Noir with some of that lovely savouriness I need. Fragrant, light and beautiful. Not a lollipop in sight.
Lovely Italian man from my hometown Manjimup, who makes his own cheese and gifts us this, farm honey and cucumbers. — a year ago
Good acid for a grape variety that gets me curious
A bit of maceration of the skin that gives it the extra bit of colour
Just a touch too tannic that perhaps wasn't needed considering the good freshness
Still ok, but less enjoyable than the Angelina drank the same night. — 3 years ago
Tonite in Angelina restaurant — 4 years ago
Drank with a plate of blackberries—so perfect, not at all sweet, goes with everything wine. Nicely done, Angelina! — 2 years ago

I’m a fussy one with Pinot. It should not come from Western Australia IMO. Clones or climate, prob both. This from the Mornington Peninsula is everything I want. Lower alcohol, rose petals, violets, no confection, some spices. It went really well with a Chicken Biryani. I’ve always loved their Chardonnay and now I’m late to their Pinot Show but loving this immensely. 2019.
