2024 PINOT NOIR OF THE YEAR, TOP RATED PINOT NOIR
98 Points from James Halliday Wine Companion Awards 2024

Applejack Vineyard, in the upper Yarra Valley, was planted by respected viticulturist Ray Guerin. The higher altitude results in a cooler and extended growing season, ideally suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay (3-4 weeks later than central Yarra Valley). Applejack Vineyard is located on a dramatic slope and is closely planted and fastidiously managed.

A dark, brilliant crimson. An exotic blend of Maraschino cherry, plum, Asian five-spice, and a savoriness faintly present on the finish. This vintage is truly sensational! Its remarkable intensity and Applejack's signature perfume & spice bring a delectable vibrancy and velvety, plentiful tannins. Enjoy now and later, 7-10 years from now or even longer, you'll be glad you saved some!
