Rocha Terrace Pinot Noir 2023

Rocha Terrace Pinot Noir 2023

From a Bendigo vineyard originally founded by James Dicey, now re-named and producing wine as Rocha Terrace – the wine made by Rudi Bauer. A dark ruby colour in the glass. Classic scents of Central Pinot rise, showing fruit base notes of black cherry, blueberry and damson, with cinnamon, thyme and negroni accents, then buddleia and lilac floral on the top. The palate mirrors the perfume, with a glossy fruit profile carried on a crisp acidity. A smoky, nutty element discretely shows the oak – working in unison with the acidity, and adding tension and complexity. A rich spice floods the back of the palate, with a subtle and supple grip of tannin. Well-made and shines a light on the beauty of this terroir very well. 94pts
