The 2023 Petronio Two Hill Pinot Noir is a beautifully crafted expression of cool-climate Pinot Noir, sourced from select vineyards in Victoria’s elevated regions. This wine captures the essence of its terroir, offering elegance, finesse, and a vibrant fruit profile.
In the glass, it displays a brilliant ruby-red hue with garnet reflections. The nose is bright and aromatic, unveiling layers of red cherries, wild strawberries, and ripe raspberries, complemented by subtle hints of rose petals, forest floor, and baking spices. Gentle oak aging adds delicate nuances of vanilla and toasted cedar, enhancing its complexity.
On the palate, this Pinot Noir is light to medium-bodied, with a silky texture and fine-grained tannins. The juicy red berry flavors are beautifully balanced by fresh acidity and earthy undertones, leading to a long, graceful finish with whispers of spice and minerality.
Elegant yet expressive, the 2023 Petronio Two Hill Pinot Noir is a versatile food companion, pairing well with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, or soft cheeses. While approachable now, it also has the potential to evolve gracefully over the next 5–8 years.
