Seville Estate Pinot Noir 2021 pays homage to classic Upper Yarra character — cooler season finesse, expertly crafted structure and concentration, and a perfect balance of elegance and strength reminiscent of the esteemed 2012 vintage. Made from MV6 planted in 1996, with 70% whole berries and 30% whole bunches, matured in hogsheads and puncheons at 30% new oak — a light, bright crimson cherry of fragrant cranberries and strawberries, whole-bunch derived dried rose petals, a soupçon of Asian spices, and a refreshing bitter orange twist on the finish. Depth, structure, and genuine Upper Yarra elegance in every glass.

Appearance

Light, bright crimson cherry — the delicate, luminous colour of a cooler season Upper Yarra Pinot Noir of genuine finesse and the purity that MV6 from a mature 1996 planting delivers.

Aroma

Fragrant cranberries and strawberries lead a pretty and expressive bouquet — whole-bunch derived dried rose petals adding floral complexity and a soupçon of Asian spices giving intrigue and depth. A Pinot Noir of genuine aromatic purity and Upper Yarra cool climate character.

Palate

Depth and structure beneath the delicate, perfumed fruit — finishing long with fine-grained and persistent tannins and a refreshing bitter orange twist that defines the Upper Yarra style at its finest. Concentration and elegance in perfect balance, as the 2021 vintage demanded and delivered.

Pairs With

Duck confit, roasted salmon, mushroom risotto, lamb rack, and aged soft-rind cheeses. A Pinot Noir of this finesse and persistent tannin structure belongs at a table that appreciates wines of genuine elegance and Upper Yarra cool climate character.

Reviews

“Made from MV6 planted in 1996; 70% whole berries, 30% whole bunches; matured in hogsheads and puncheons (30% new). A light, bright crimson cherry. Fragrant with aromas of cranberries and strawberries, some whole-bunch derived dried rose petals and a soupçon of Asian spices. It’s a pretty wine but it has depth and structure too, finishing long with fine-grained and persistent tannins and a refreshing bitter orange twist.” — 93 Points, Philip Rich, Halliday’s Wine Companion, 3 August 2022
