{"product_id":"2023-elanto-vineyard-pinot-noir","title":"2023 Elanto Vineyard Pinot Noir","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe 2023 Elanto Vineyard Pinot Noir is a remarkably assured debut release that displays a level of complexity and structure rarely encountered from such young vines. Deeply influenced by fine Burgundy while retaining the maritime freshness of Mornington Peninsula, it is a wine defined by precision, savoury detail, and a strong sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe nose is highly expressive and layered, opening with aromas of violet, rose petals, and sweet spice. A vibrant core of black cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry compote, and rhubarb is complemented by notes of dried herbs, blood orange, chicory, forest floor, toasted hazelnut, and subtle cedar. As the wine opens in the glass, it reveals increasing savoury complexity, with earthy nuances and delicate spice lending a distinctly Burgundian character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOn the palate, the wine is medium-bodied yet impressively concentrated, combining energy and finesse with remarkable depth. Flavours of dark cherry, wild strawberry, plum skin, and rhubarb are framed by vibrant acidity and finely textured tannins. Layers of dried herbs, earthy undertones, and a subtle amaro-like bitterness add complexity and structure, while a mineral thread carries through to a long, persistent finish. The texture is silky and refined, yet there is enough grip and tension to suggest excellent ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOverall, this is a sophisticated and highly individual Pinot Noir that favours savoury nuance over overt fruit richness. Floral aromatics, mineral complexity, and finely integrated structure come together in a wine of elegance, balance, and precision. It captures both the finesse of Burgundy and the vibrant energy of Mornington Peninsula, making it one of the most compelling Australian Pinot Noir releases in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"614\" data-start=\"39\"\u003eThe 2024 Elanto Vineyard Pinot Noir is one of the most exciting new releases from the Mornington Peninsula and a wine that has quickly established cult status among Australian Pinot Noir collectors. Founded by Elizabeth and Tony Todaro with renowned winemaker Sandro Mosele, Elanto is based in Balnarring and planted at an extraordinary density of over 11,000 vines per hectare—approximately four times the regional norm. This Burgundian-inspired approach produces naturally low yields, concentration and exceptional vineyard expression. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2393\" data-start=\"2366\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2391\" data-start=\"2366\"\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"3147\" data-start=\"2395\"\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is one of the most exciting new Australian Pinot Noir projects we have seen in years. Compared to many Mornington Peninsula Pinots, Elanto shows greater structure and tannin definition thanks to its ultra-high-density vineyard design. Compared to Central Otago Pinot Noir, it is more savoury and mineral-driven; compared to Burgundy, it combines New World fruit purity with a distinctly Old World sense of restraint and complexity. Drink from 2026 onwards or cellar comfortably for 10–15+ years. Perfect with duck, quail, game birds, mushroom dishes or refined modern Australian cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eInfo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"height: 117.563px;\" width=\"846\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eElanto Vineyard \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wine More Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51334585221435,"sku":"EV1223","price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2024_Elanto_Vineyard_Pinot_Noir.jpg?v=1780924876","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2023-elanto-vineyard-pinot-noir","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
