William Downie Camp Hill Pinot Noir 2024
Gippsland / Victoria // Australia
Pinot Noir from a single parcel. The vines were planted in 1998 at 250m above sea level, marking the highest point between the Strzelecki and Great Dividing Ranges.
The vineyard faces north, offering nearly 360-degree views of the stunning Baw Baw Shire. The red volcanic soils here are slightly rockier than the Bull Swamp site, resulting in a wine that's finer and more acidic.
This release is deeper and richer than previous vintages but is still very much Camp Hill in character. Aromas of wattle, boronia and bergamot as well as clove, chicory and sorrel. Rich and powerful with great length and fine tannin. In spite of its weight and texture on the palate, it remains light and ethereal. Reminds us of a Burg.
