2018 Eldridge Estate of Red Hill Pinot Noir Clonal Blend 750ml

The Clonal Blend reflects the pioneering wineries of the Mornington Peninsula, experimenting with numerous grape varieties and clones. This delightful Pinot Noir blends seven clones sourced from David Lloyd, an original of the district. A third of the wine was aged in new French oak, contributing dark cherries and black currants upfront, transitioning to strawberries and other red fruits. Its depth, tension, and pleasing weight coat the palate, complemented by subtle spices. Notably, the wine evolves beautifully over days, urging patience to experience its full potential. Avoid the common temptation to drink prematurely; instead, savor the journey, perhaps with Eldridge's PTG if immediate satisfaction is needed.
