About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of Pinot NoirMornington Peninsula, AustraliaRiorret is "Terroir" spelt backwards. This wine is all about a sense of place. Winemaker Steve Webber lets the land do the talking. Minimal intervention in the winery mimics a Burgundian approach. The insects on the label represent the abundance of life in the vineyards. Red fruits abound with a satisfying finish that shows Mornington at its best.

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

This wine smells of fresh red cherry, stalky greenery (though I am not sure of stem work), cardamom and just a faint hint of sous bois. The palate is juicy and plush but ultra vibrant - it's a wash of vibrant red fruit followed by silken tannin and a long, bustling finish of cherry, spice and faint game meats. Fresh as you like, pure and driven, the wine feels energy packed and finely tuned for the price point.. Man this is sophisticated in its restraint, man this is drinkable.
