The 2023 Onannon Main Ridge Tudibaring Vineyard Pinot Noir is a single-vineyard Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir sourced from the elevated, wind-exposed slopes of the Tudibaring Vineyard in Main Ridge. Planted to the renowned Pommard and MV6 Pinot Noir clones, this site produces wines of precision and character. The nose reveals aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, layered with dried herbs, rose petal, subtle spice and earthy undertones that reflect the vineyard's unique location.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with fine tannins, bright acidity and a beautifully detailed texture. Flavours of red berries, strawberry and cherry are supported by savoury spice, subtle earthiness and a gentle mineral edge. Matured without new oak, the wine allows the purity of the fruit and vineyard character to shine through, finishing long, fresh and finely structured.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Pinot Noir lovers seeking a site-driven expression with elegance and complexity rather than sheer power. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar over the next 8–10 years as additional savoury nuances emerge. Pair with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, game bird dishes or soft-ripened cheeses.
