Description
Established in 1998, Bellvale Wine is a family-owned business run by winemaker, viticulturalist (and former pilot) John Ellis. Dry grown, low yielding vineyard situated in the lush Tarwin River valley of South Gippsland, one of Australia’s best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producing regions. Many International awards and accolades including the coveted James Halliday Wine Companion 5 Star Winery Rating. John’s fanatical hands-on, attention to detail approach to winemaking salutes his obsession with traditional methods used by premium winemakers in Burgundy, where he honed his craft over many years.
This 2022 was an exceptional growing season, mother nature was kind producing beautifully ripe and balanced fruit. Seven months in French oak followed by seven months in bottle.
This classically styled Pinot Noir reveals brimming raspberry and wild strawberry notes with complex, savoury spices such as clove and anise. Depth and density of red & black fruits, plum on the palate, mouth watering polished tannins and ‘peacock’s tail’ of acidity and beautifully integrated french oak. This 2022 release has the goods and up there with their finest releases to date.. definitely puts Bellvale up as contender for Australia’s quality and value Pinot producer. Don’t miss a case of this delicious Pinot bargain!
Review of 2019 92 points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front “.. it’s so inherently complex and just so good to drink. It’s not a hearty Pinot Noir but it’s a Pinot Noir with heart. Undergrowth, characteristically so. Fresh cherries. Sweet spices. It’s frisky more than it is tangy. It will obviously develop further from here but drink this now and you’re winning.” June 2020
