The 2024 Fetherston Estate Pinot Noir is a refined Yarra Valley Pinot Noir sourced from premium vineyards in Yarra Glen and Gembrook. Made from 100% MV6 clone, the fruit was hand-picked, wild fermented with a portion of whole bunches, and matured in French oak (26% new) to enhance complexity while preserving purity. The nose is expressive with aromas of black cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, layered with hints of rose petal, sweet spice, amaro and forest floor.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and excellent balance. Flavours of red berries, cherry and cranberry are complemented by savoury herbs, subtle oak and earthy spice, leading to a long, elegant finish. The combination of cool-climate fruit, restrained oak and fine structure delivers a Pinot Noir with both immediate appeal and excellent cellaring potential.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for those seeking a polished Yarra Valley Pinot Noir with purity, finesse and complexity. Pair it with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto or herb-roasted lamb. Enjoy now after a short decant, or cellar for 8–10 years to develop greater savoury depth and elegance.
