The 2023 Balgownie Estate Pinot Noir is a refined and elegant cool-climate Pinot Noir from Victoria’s Yarra Valley, showcasing the region’s hallmark balance, freshness and purity of fruit. The nose is bright and aromatic, revealing layers of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, complemented by subtle spice, dried herbs and delicate earthy notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant acidity, offering flavours of red berries, cranberry and soft savoury undertones that lead to a smooth, lingering finish. The style is fresh, approachable and beautifully balanced, with finesse rather than weight.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers looking for an elegant, food-friendly Pinot Noir with classic Yarra Valley character. Perfect for lovers of lighter reds and versatile enough for casual dinners or entertaining. Enjoy now or cellar over the next 3–5 years. Ideal with roasted duck, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes or charcuterie.
