2003 Pegeric Pinot Noir

Macedon Ranges is one of the few regions where Pinot Noir nearing its 20th birthday has a chance of still being alive and interesting, with this release from Pegeric sitting in that category. The nose sits on the secondary character spectrum and it is more about mushroom, earth and beef stock than red berry fruits. The palate is light on its feet with tannins and acidity combining to give drive and texture; red cherry is wrapped up with earthen appeal. The acidity will see the wine plateau for a number of years to come. A truly food friendly wine.
