Tasting Notes
William Downie is a rising star of Gippsland, bringing his experience from Burgundy as well as icons like Bass Phillips and De Bortoli.
This wine exemplifies the essence of Yarra Valley Pinot Noir, showcasing a vibrant ruby hue with aromas of wild strawberries, red cherries, and subtle floral undertones of rose and violets. On the palate, it offers a seamless balance of delicate fruit purity, soft tannins, and a refined acidity that brings freshness to every sip. Nuances of forest floor, crushed herbs, and gentle spice round out a long, elegant finish.
William Downie crafts his Pinot Noir with minimal intervention, allowing the unique terroir of the Yarra Valley to shine. The result is a wine of purity, complexity, and authenticity, reflective of his hands-off approach and dedication to sustainable viticulture.
