William Downie, a renowned Australian winemaker, is celebrated for his dedication to crafting Pinot Noir that authentically reflects its terroir. The 'Cathedral' Pinot Noir is a négociant wine that offers an accessible yet expressive representation of Victoria's diverse wine regions.

  • WINEMAKER: William Downie
  • FARMING: Sourced from vineyards practicing sustainable viticulture
  • VARIETY: 100% Pinot Noir
  • TERROIR: A blend of approximately 70% Mornington Peninsula and 30% King Valley fruit, benefiting from the cool maritime climate of Mornington and the elevated, continental climate of King Valley.
  • VINIFICATION: Destemmed fruit undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and purity of fruit flavors.
  • AGING: Aged in stainless steel to maintain vibrancy and focus on primary fruit characteristics.
  • TASTING NOTES: Aromatic and fine-boned, this Pinot Noir displays an array of red and dark berry fruits, including blackcurrant, raspberry, and cherry, complemented by subtle spice and earthy undertones. The palate is precise and well-defined, with bright fruit and fine tannins leading to a balanced finish.
  • FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto.
