 Bedlam Bay Mornington Peninsula 'Merricks North' Pinot Noir 2005 - $18.00
The Bedlam Bay label represents special wines that have been commissioned or bottled exclusively for The Wine Point.
Bedlam Bay itself is situated a kilometre or so up the Parramatta River from our store. It has a significant wine history with a vineyard planted there in the 1870’s (you can still see the terracing where the vineyard were planted) for the patients of Gladesville Hospital.
This wonderfully aromatic Pinot Noir is from a single vineyard in the Merricks North sub region of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula It has had the Rolls Royce treatment - cropped at a low 2 tonnes to the acre, fermented with wild yeasts and aged in Francois Freres burgundian oak barrels it is what top shelf Pinot should be - all elegance and subtle power. It offers textbook black cherry, plums, vanilla, spice and mint smells. The palate is fine textured with soft, juicy black fruit flavours layered with fine, long fruit tannins. This is serious Pinot, drinking beautifully right now with salmon or your favourite duck dish. It is also sealed by "diam" brand cork, guaranteed to be free of cork taint, so you can also cellar it with confidence. Brilliant booze.
