2024 Elanto Vineyard Pinot Noir

$85.00

This wine is a blend of the 5 Pinot Noir vineyards (lieux-dits); Vertex, Ironstone, Chicory, Kilnside and Basalt.

Each vineyard was picked and vinified separately. The fruit was first chilled and then sorted and destemmed, with a smattering of perfectly ripe whole bunches making it into the ferment, which is took place in concrete tanks. A cold soak preceded natural fermentation, which was completed in vat, before pressing, after extended time on skins.

The high-density plantings have blessed the grapes with an abundance of skin tannin which allowed for more restraint in the winery, with less time on skins required than in 2023. A consequence of this reduced extraction is an aromatic cavalcade of perfumed red fruits, and a supremely balanced wine that is framed by fine-boned, chalky tannin.

Following fermentation, the wines were raised in a mix of new and older French oak barriques. Malolactic conversion completed late spring and the wine spent a total of 11 months in barrel before bottling. Diam 30 closure.

This gorgeous 2024 Pinot is another step towards Elanto's greater goal - an Australian evocation of the structured, savoury expressions of classic Pinot Noir.

"What a beguiling wine – only the second release and showing complexity far beyond its years. It’s certainly youthful and pretty with heady aromas of florals and autumn leaves with flavours of wild strawberries, dark cherries and pips, chinotto, Middle Eastern spices and some poached rhubarb, too. The medium-bodied palate is evenly poised, laden with filigree tannins (lots of them) and energising acidity; oak (25% new) completely integrated. This has depth, some grip, a little amaro bitterness on the finish and, of utmost importance, it will age but it’s oh-so pleasing to drink today. 97 Points.” - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion, August 2025

“Medium full depth of garnet colour; there are complex earthy, sousbois and roasting-pan aromas, while the palate bursts with sweet dark-cherry to blackberry flavours, rich and succulent, with a swelling peacock's tail of spicy cherry flavours, mouth-filling and long, a great pinot noir with panache and charm, and the structure to reward long ageing. Utterly delicious. 97/100” Huon Hooke, The Real Review, May 2026

“The intensity of fruit here is fantastic, as is the length of the finish, as is the tannin profile. This wine is out of the ordinary on these matters alone. It tastes of stewed red and black cherries, peppercorns, cedar and undergrowth, the dry crackle of the finish – yet sluiced with fruit – one for the ages. The slightest degree of warmth is my only hesitation; in all other respects this is superb. 95 points.”- Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, September 2025
