2019 Geppetto Pinot Noir / King Valley, VIC (Case of 12)
2019 has provided yet another wonderful growing season in a string of recent ideal vintages. The mild summer and moderate yields have combined to produce full flavoured wines with texture and poise as well as helped retain a higher than normal level of natural acidity. This year will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the greats!
