Murdoch Hill Apollo Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir

Murdoch hill Apollo Pinot Noir 2022

With the strength of the Lenswood fruit behind it, Apollo has taken off. From the very first sip, you get an enticing perfume of red fruits and dark berries mingling with savoury spice, tilled earth and a complexing smoky reduction. The palate is a real charmer, with pure and fleshy fruit calibrated to supple, velvety weight and a fine web of fluid tannins and acidity bringing sculpted shape and refreshment. Taking nothing away from the previous releases and forgiving the galactic analogy, it¡¯s on another planet.

This climatic diversity is one of the keys to producing elegant Pinot Noir with distinctive characters.Pinot Noir from this region typically exhibit a medium‑bodied style, brimming with ripe cherry and strawberry flavors, softened by gentle tannins.
