SCHMOLZER & BROWN BRUNNEN PINOT NOIR 2023 - red

Style : Savoury & DetailedVignerons Schmölzer & Brown is the partnership of Tessa Brown, winemaker and viticulturist & Jeremy Schmölzer, Architect. We planted our vineyard, Thorley, in the highest part of the Beechworth GI in 2014 and 2015. We both work in the vineyard and winery to grow vines and make wines with precision, balance and drinkability. In all but the most challenging years, we grow our vines using organic practises. We are currently contructing our winery and home, which is off-grid solar. In the winery we work simply to not lose the purity of the fruit we’ve generally worked pretty hard to grow well. We would class ourselves as minimal intervention, high altitude specialists. You could even say sub-alpine, given much of our production is from vineyards over 700m ASL.100% whole berry, wild ferment, mlf, aged in barrique for 18 months (one in five barrels new oak), unfiltered. A distinctive beauty of a pinot noir, linear and delicate in its youth, revealing a super cool and impressive Beechworth charm. It's the florals that totally seduce – rosehip, rose, pressed flowers in a scent filled with cherry, cranberry, red berries and wild bramble, with background herbals, earth and spice. Moves finely, brightly across the tongue in tight formation with signature fresh acid crunch. You could argue it needs more time in bottle, and more time to breathe when just opened. Good advice either way. JENI PORT, Wine CompanionRegion : Beechworth, VICTORIAVariety : Pinot Noir ABV: 13%Liquor Act 2007.
