Yarrawood Tall Tales Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2021 - 6 Bottles

Product Description

The Tall Tales Pinot Noir from Yarrawood Estate captures the essence of the Yarra Valley’s cool-climate character, a region where Pinot truly thrives. The Yarrawood vineyards are planted on elevated slopes near Yarra Glen, with a mix of volcanic and alluvial soils that provide both structure and perfume to the wines. The “Tall Tales” label is about more than just wine; it reflects the estate’s sense of playfulness and storytelling, wines made with personality and crafted to be shared over good conversation.

This Pinot Noir offers aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, lifted by notes of rose petal and spice. French oak adds hints of clove and subtle earthy complexity, but the emphasis remains on fruit purity and elegance. The palate is silky and medium-bodied, with fine tannins supporting flavours of red currant and plum, finishing with a fresh line of acidity that keeps it vibrant and food-friendly.

Pairing options include duck breast with cherry glaze, mushroom risotto, or even a simple charcuterie board where the wine’s freshness cuts through richer flavours. It also shines with dishes like roast quail or confit salmon. While immediately approachable, the Tall Tales Pinot Noir will develop more savoury and truffle-like notes over the next 4 to 6 years if cellared.
