 In 2012 Australian Wine Vintages Gold Book by Robert Geddes , Master of Wine , PEGERIC Pinot Noir is described as "a curio , full of secondary flavours. Unusually textured tertiary

 flavours with oak mellow into a smooth style unlike most Australian wine . If these came from Rioja or Alba we would have a different view. "

    The 1999 , 2003 and a small but important portion of Pinot Noir blended into the Barbera come from the PEGERIC vineyard , situated high in the Macedon Ranges , Victoria , Australia

This vineyard site is one of the coolest in Australia and New Zealand  . The Barbera comes from our good friend Robert Fiumara's award winning LILLYPILLY vineyard in LEETON , NSW.

The 2002 vintage was one of the coolest for LILLYPILLY in the last 10 years .

All these wines show intense plum and earthy , smoky oak characters on the nose .This follows through on the palate which is balanced by nice acidity . The Barbera exhibits an extra

 dimension of cherry on the palate . The 1999 PEGERIC Pinot Noir also has a distinctive chocolate savouriness , while the 2003 PEGERIC Pinot Noir is yet to develop this ,but will do so

 in a few years time .

All wines will benefit with decanting and being allowed to breathe for a short time .
