Beaune Les Bons Feuvres, Domaine Pascal Prunier-Bonheur 2017
This openly fruity Beaune is a generous but not overblown wine that is a great food partner to while away a good lunch or dinner with. It has generous red berry and bone bone anglais aromas, a medium to full body with a silky palate. The tannins are evident but unobtrusive. As usual at this domaine it's a great glass of wine. The fifth generation of a wine-growing family, Pascal Prunier-Bonheur took over the estate in 1983; it now operates 6 hectares of vines spread across Saint-Romain in Beaune through to Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie, Meursault and Pommard.
Prophet's Rock Infusion Pinot Noir 2019
' The grapes are hand-picked from one block that sits adjacent to Lake Dunstan on the Rocky Point Vineyard in Bendigo. This block is warm and early ripening, free draining, with predominantly schist soils on a steep northerly-facing slope. Extensive canopy and crop management is carried out during the growing season to ensure the grapes attained full physiological ripeness with great concentration, aromatics, and flavour. Yields are kept low and do not exceed 38hl/ha or 5t/ha. The fruit is handpicked early in the morning at low temperatures and destemmed into a small tank. The grapes then ˜infuse' in the juice, gently extracting colour and flavour over 10-14 days. When the indigenous ˜wild' ferment is about to start, the tank is pressed to neutral oak barrels for fermentation. After fermentation, the wine in matured on its yeast lees until bottling without going through malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness. The wine is bottled under screw-cap. Our winemaking aims to be an exercise in understanding and translating our stunning sites into wine as accurately as possible with a minimum of winery signature. This engaging wine has great purity and freshness with lovely structure that makes for versatile food matches. On the vineyard it is our absolute favourite wood-fired pizza wine. Enjoyable in its youth and developing more savoury complexity over 5-7 years from vintage. 273 cases were made. '
