VINOQUE YARRA VALLEY 'SAME SAME' PINOT BLEND 2018

Perfumed, spicy, dried herb, energetic. Textural, silky flavours, soft tannins, gentle acidity.

 Pinot Noir is one of the oldest grape varieties we know; around 2000 years. Over this period there has been plenty of time for the variety to mutate and produce different forms in Pinot Meunier, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc. The diversity of colour, flavour and aromatics across the mutations is vast. Interestingly, all are genetically identical and hence the name "Same Same but different."
