Main Ridge Estate
Half Acre Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir
Mornington Peninsula, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia

A beautiful Mornington Peninsula Pinot drinking at its peak. A nice blend of red fruits and earthy nuances - M+ intensity on the palate. Again the lightness in colour belies that palate intensity - a sweet palate. Main Ridge Estate was an early producer in Mornington and remains highly rated - Half Acre being their Premium Cuvée. Bottles from this estate are not readily available even in Australia. NOTE DELECTABLE - this Cuvée is the Half Acre Not the Acre.

From the Langtons Outstanding category this small production wine from the Mornington Peninsula has escaped me over the years but there is no doubting its quality. I have since purchased some and will look forward to trying this after a year or two cellaring initially. Very promising.

Unusual Pinot noir for Mornington Peninsula, I would say some whole bunches have been used. You can feel the green tannin given by the stems. Definitely will get better with some age. It reminded me of some Ponsot I tasted( which is definitely a good thing). Someone may not like this wine it is obvious

Sep 19th, 2014Magnificent. Has gained weight with age while retaining the gorgeous fruit and brambly spice. Nat White is a genius.

Very structured and elegant Pinot. Tries to resist the temptation to over deliver on fruit. It's there in the background of just ripe cherries. There is no herbaceousness. I am wondering what it could be if it was allowed to be an Australian Pinot.
