Campbell Mattinson
This is another excellent Deer Farm Pinot Noir. It gets the balance of savouriness (or twiggy-ness) and fruitiness exactly right, and it’s well structured, and it’s well sustained. Florals, twiggy herbs, sap, cherries, blueberries and something in the vicinity of mint. There’s woodsmoke in the air. There’s a firmness. There’s intent. I love the pretty introduction of this wine, and the way, through the course of the palate, it seduces you into signing on the dotted line, in the end. It closes. This wine is routinely good, and it is again.

Yarra Valley, Victoria
Cooler than Bordeaux yet warmer than Burgundy, picturesque Yarra Valley is one of Australia's foremost cool-climate wine regions. An easy one-hour’s drive from Melbourne, the area is home to more than 80 cellar doors. In addition to the huge range of wineries, the area boasts superb contemporary restaurants, authentic rustic farms - and luxury overnight accommodation if the sightseeing gets too much! The fertile Yarra Valley soils produce famously elegant and textured Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
A cold wet start to the growing season proved challenging in the vineyards with fruit set and ultimately yields lower than average. Summer began with high humidity, but during the ripening period became stable and dry. The onset of flavour development occurred relatively rapidly with fine acidity retained across all varieties.
