The 2023 Onannon Tuerong Robinson Vineyard Pinot Noir is a single-vineyard Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir sourced from the Robinson Vineyard in Tuerong, one of the region's most established and highly regarded sites. This cool-climate Pinot Noir displays aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, layered with hints of rose petal, spice, forest floor and subtle oak. The vineyard's mature vines and low-yielding fruit contribute depth and concentration while maintaining elegance and regional definition.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, bright acidity and a finely textured structure. Flavours of red berries, dark cherry and cranberry are supported by savoury notes, gentle spice and well-integrated oak, creating a wine of both complexity and balance. The finish is long, refined and persistent, showcasing the purity and detail that single-vineyard Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir can achieve.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Pinot Noir for those seeking a more serious, site-driven expression of the variety. Drinking beautifully now with decanting, it also has the structure to develop further over the next 8–12 years. Pair with roast duck, game bird dishes, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon or herb-roasted chicken.
