2023 Symons Pinot Noir

Victoria · Mornington Peninsula

Victoria has more wineries than any other Australian state and the widest spread of climates. Around Melbourne, the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Geelong and Macedon Ranges are cool enough for restrained Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Inland, Heathcote and the Grampians make dense Shiraz, Beechworth works granite hillsides, and the King Valley has adopted Italian varieties. In the north-east, Rutherglen still makes fortified Muscat and Topaque in a style found nowhere else.
