Even Keel, Polperro 2021

“Great wines are made on the vine, and when the variety, aspect and soil type are right, Australia’s wine regions deliver elegant, textured and fruit-driven wines that hold their own with the best in the world.” The wise (and very true) words of winemaker, Sam Coverdale, who set up Even Keel in 2006. Polperro 2021 is Even Keel's premium Pinot Noir, taken from the best sites across Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. Aromas of freshly cracked spice, red plum and brambly dark fresh fruits. On the palate there is fresh spice, dark fruits but not over ripe and a lively rounded acidity. It’s refreshingly concentrated with fine tannins. The wine is balanced and has an energy that dances from being quite compact to being open and flowing almost mineral like on the finish. Definitely one to savour.
