De Bortoli, Riorret The Abbey Pinot Noir, 2020 Trajadura The palate is broader withThe Abbey Vineyard at Tarrawarra is one of the Yarra Valley's premium vineyard sites. It typically produces brooding dark fruited Pinot Noir with power and charm. Bright medium red. Quite pure with hints of blueberry, raspberry, game and woodsmoke. Fine grained texture, restrained, spice, slightly saline, fills the palate with gentle flavours.
