About the Winery

Levantine have called upon the expertise of Paul Bridgemen, one of Australia’s best. This is the start of Levantine Hill’s quest for perfection.
About The Wine
The wines in the Levantine Hill Estate Range are all single vineyard wines produced from grapes grown on the Maroondah Highway Estate. Exhibiting a slow build of power on a detail-laden palate, this Pinot Noir is the result of an assemblage of many individual small batches sourced from the Mooroondah Highway vineyard. Subtly ingrained natural acidity, slow building fruit weight, a line of integrated oak and expansive spreading medium-chain tannins build in layers with each taste. With an ageing potential of eight or more years, this is a classic Pinot Noir in the traditional French style.
