2024 Elanto Vineyard Basalt Pinot Noir

$150.00

Basalt is a mid-slope site planted towards the western end of the property, where the soils are shallow and the basaltic stone, which is the parent rock for the whole Elanto site, is more apparent.

This is the finer of the two lieux-dits, with restrained, delicate aromatics and gliding graceful tannins. Savoury and spicy, with plentiful red and black fruit weight, some sous-bois complexity, and a long, linear finish.

"Since planting Australia’s most ambitious high-density pinot noir vineyard in ’18, Sandro Mosele has already identified unique parcels, this mid-slope and off the east side of the vineyard where basalt is closer to the surface. Such an individual imprint: incredible perfume of wild strawberries and black cherries with forest floor, Middle Eastern spices, menthol and orange zest with more savoury nuances coming through. Complex and detailed. There's a little pinch of green walnut, but mostly sweet fruit coats the mid-weighted palate, as do abundant supple tannins, before the cleansing acidity does its job." - 97 Points, Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

"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 2026
