Handcrafting a collection of fruit-forward varieties, the contemporary Preece wines herald an exciting new era of wine and viticultural exploration from this iconic Victorian winery.
Colour: Translucent garnet with vivid cherry red hues.
Nose: Pervasive notes of red cherry, strawberry and raspberries swirl in the glass and unite with spicy oak influence.
Palate: The silky palate unfolds into a medley of dark cherry, wild strawberry and plum, threaded throughout a back drop of complex game and spicy French oak. The finish persists with support from a cloak of fine tannins. Vineyard Fruit for the Preece Pinot Noir has been sourced from the Yarra Junction sub region of Victoria’s famed Yarra Valley. At an altitude of 280 metres above sea level, the grey loamy clay overlying siltstone soils and cool climate lend themselves to the gradual development of inviting aromatics, complex flavours and fine tannins.
