Ballewindi Pinot Noir 2011

 

Ballewindi is one of Kooyong’s Mornington Peninsula vineyards. While Kooyong has a reputation for fine Pinot, the Ballewindi is not just for Pinot lovers.  Its attractive, silky smooth texture is generous and all too more-ish.

You can’t go wrong with perfumed cherry & raspberry fruit spiced up with some cinnamon oak. It is not all fruit however, there is some dried thyme and mushroom savouriness as well.  Elegantly medium bodied with a delicate but lingering finish.  Why not try it with pink fish such as Chermoula Salmon.
