Eastern Peake Griffins Road Pinot Noir 2022

$62.00

High toned aromatics of sweet and tangy red fruits, savoury spice and sandalwood. The intensity of fruit is mind boggling when you consider the wine’s prettiness and elegance. Pure and mineral, with Serrano and a Amaro/blood orange note on the back palate. Linear in shape, the fruit, tannin and acid finely woven together, harmonising beautifully with gentle tightness. Absolutely controlled and nothing out of place. A sense of effortlessness, the vineyard’s quality (and the winemaker’s) very much apparent. Very long, persistent and the sleeper of the range. Decades ahead of it. Waters Wine Co

Winemaker’s Notes

 

The Latta family have worked with the nearby Griffin Road vineyard since the mid-’90s and indeed were instrumental in its original planting. The vineyard has changed ownership over the years, but it’s now on a long-term lease to the Latta family again and has been converted to organic and regenerative farming as a result. The wine is pure pinot noir, all forest and undergrowth, meat and herbs, with game and merited cherry notes threaded with firm, rusty tannin. In short, complexity lives here. 94 points – Halliday Wine Companion
