Wine Description
Pinot Noir, originally from France's Burgundy region, has become a cornerstone of Victoria's wine industry, particularly within cool climate regions. The region's cool climate conditions and diverse terroirs allow this delicate grape to produce wines that are elegant, complex, and expressive of their environment. At Alpine Road, our winemaking team honours Pinot Noir's French history and heritage, while creating a wine that reflects the distinctive characteristics of vineyards, we source the grapes from, offering a harmonious balance between tradition and regional expression.
Our Pinot Noir opens up with an enticing nose of lifted black cherry, plum, clove spice and oak aromas. On the palate is an array of red fruit flavours, five spice, clove and complex oak. A harmonious and balanced display between varietal fruit and tannins allows the palate to glide to a silky finish. Enjoy this wine with BBQ Tuna steak.

Toni Pla Bou has worked in the wine industry for twenty five years, working for Houghton Wines, Coldstream Hills, Evans & Tate, Berton Vineyards and as a flying winemaker in Corsica, Roussillon, Gaillac and Corbière with Jean Marc Lafage. Studies in Philosophy and French have informed his understanding of wine, in relation to style, aesthetic and cultural value. Having a Catalonian heritage, Toni has always been passionate about wines from either side of the Pyrenean border: Grenache, Tempranillo, Grenache Blanc, Macabeo and more. Through his winemaking, Toni is inspired by the topographical and climatic affinities between the Alpine Valleys and the European Pyrenees.
