The 2022 Valli Vineyards Bendigo Vineyard Pinot Noir Half Bottle (375ml) is a beautifully concentrated Central Otago Pinot Noir that showcases the power, depth and savoury complexity of the renowned Bendigo sub-region. Sourced from elevated vineyards on schist and clay soils, it opens with expressive aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and plum, layered with notes of mushroom, cedar, spice and subtle floral lift.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky texture, vibrant acidity and fine tannins that provide both structure and elegance. Dark fruit, earthy savoury notes and gentle spice flow into a long, polished and memorable finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding premium Pinot Noir for customers who enjoy richer, more structured Central Otago styles with balance and finesse. The half bottle format makes it ideal for fine dining, gifting or enjoying a serious Pinot Noir without opening a full bottle. Drink now with decanting or cellar over the next 8–12 years. Perfect with duck, lamb, mushroom dishes, salmon or charcuterie.
