That was a cooler season than 2025, so this beautiful wine here may not last quite that long, but it may well do! This is a classy, highly perfumed, ripe, complete, classy pinot with impressive richness, depth and a swathe of red fruit opulence (cranberry seed, crushed ripe cherries, red berries etc.). The 20%+ new oak is lost in the wine, the tannins are there, but also covered in fleshy fruit and good body. There is a cherry liqueur character and some Asian spice and liquorice. Wow, this is a very lovely pinot! Like 2010 and 2015 it has great x-factor from the low crop and ripe season.

The northeast-facing vineyard is in a natural amphitheatre and the low-yielding vines are unirrigated. Timo Mayer looked after the viticulture and winemaking from '00–05 when Ian and June’s son, Andrew, joined the family farm. Timo and Andrew worked together until ’17, also making their own wines at Gembrook Hill. Since then, it's been an all-family affair with June and Andrew Marks, who is in charge of winemaking and viticulture, co-managing Gembrook Hill. Indeed, the only contract labour they use is for picking. As to the wines, Gembrook Hill has produced a superb set, all with their trademark finesse and elegance. \u003cstrong\u003e- Philip Rich,\u003cem\u003e Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2025 Gembrook Yarra Valley Village Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOffer:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e$39 | \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e$36 in 6-Packs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\"From a vineyard in Yellingbo, 6km from Gembrook.
