Great Western Pinot Meunier
Grampians, Western Victoria, Victoria, Australia
Notes of dusty cherry and sweet prune. Love this wine - light to medium weight. The Key here is Intensity without weight as I said in my previous note about this wine. From what are believed to be the oldest Pinot Meunière vines on earth. As the label says “magical complexities “. I could not agree more.

One of my favorite straight still pinot meunières. And yes I have a few. Old vines. And this stuff can age. Grab some and sock it away. Your future self will thank you.

1 person found it helpfulAug 29th, 2014Mid Ruby. Dusty Cherry Cedary aromas. Light to medium weight palate showing savoury leather, cherry flavours with very fine tannins. Fully developed at 23 years. A gorgeous wine - Intensity without weight. From the oldest Pinot Meunière vines in the world - first planted in 1868 and made in small quantities only when the vintage is good enough. Just bought 3 bottles of the 2016.

May 21st, 2017From vines planted in the late 1860s - the oldest of this variety in Australia. Lighter in style but with amazing length. Notes of an old chest of drawers together with Lavender, Soot, Tar, Earth and woody notes. Very balanced becoming sweeter with air. A thorough pleasure. Old Vine Pinot Meunière- a delightful anachronism.
