Gembrook Hill Pinot Noir 2024

The 2024 Gembrook Hill Pinot Noir is classic Upper Yarra – light on its feet but loaded with personality. From the dry-grown, own-rooted vines of the original estate block, this is Pinot with real pedigree, made without fuss by Andrew Marks.

Everything’s done gently – wild ferment, old oak, no heavy extraction – so what you get is a wine that’s fragrant, fine-boned, and quietly complex. Think red cherry, autumn spice, a bit of forest floor, and that trademark cool-climate snap of acidity. It’s not big or showy, but it’s got precision and flow – the sort of wine you keep coming back to.

Already in a lovely spot, but will easily tick along for another 5–6 years if you like a bit more development.
