Moorooduc Releases from Winemaker Kate McIntyre MW
Moorooduc Devil Bend Creek Pinot Noir 2023
A mainstay in the shop for a number of years now and for good reason as at its price point it offers plenty of complexity. With a lifted floral and red fruited nose, its medium bodied sweet fruit finishes with an amaro note for good measure. Slurpable with enough interest at $30. Cameron, FWC.
Moorooduc McIntyre Pinot Noir 2021
Happily sits alongside By Farr & Bass Phillip as one of the great Pinot Noirs of Australia. Very Limited. Ian Cook - FWC
Very pale ruby in the glass with red cherries, musk and a campari edge to the nose that really draws you in. Medium weighted fruit is framed by the softest of tannins and a very fine line of acidity, delicious drinking. Cameron, FWC.
There’s a gentle persuasion, a slight tension between the supple tannins and gossamer-like acidity that gives this definition yet still stays refined. The light hue belies the flavours of cherries and pips, sumac, chinotto and mandarin peel. Very even across the palate. Very easy to drink. A smashing wine. 96 points, drink 2023-2031, Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion.
Moorooduc Robinson Chardonnay 2021
It's always a great pleasure when Kate McIntyre M.W. pops into the shop to show us through the latest releases from Moorooduc. One of the longer established wineries on the Mornington Peninsula
A barrel selection from the Robinson vineyard. Immediate notes of macadamia and nougat on the nose with white nectarine and grapefruit sitting alongside. There's some breadth of fruit on the palate but all in balance with the acidity and some slight textural elements adding to the wine's overall complexity. Delicious drinking and an excellent example of a modern chardonnay to be enjoyed now or over the coming years. Cameron, FWC.
As elegant as a Givenchy evening gown. All silky and fine – this is as pure, long and textural as they come. Yes, flavours satisfy from nougat, white nectarine and Meyer lemon with a layer of luscious lees, but all that sits behind how this wine feels. And it feels good. Moreish with juicy acidity a feature in ’21. Drink to 2031. 96 Points. Jane Faulkner, Halliday's Wine Companion.
