The Aylward family founded Kooyong down on the Mornington Peninsula before selling up to Port Phillip Estate. With the proceeds from sale they created Kooyong.
They produce two Pinots, this - a standard entry named after the 8th at the golf club - and the 'Aylward' which I believe is from the same vineyard, the Aylward cropped at 1 tonne per Acre.
An arborial inspired interplay with heady aromas composed of fruits of the forest and a touch of forest floor. A couple of years post-release, the wine is showing some early tinges of development.
Smooth, silken body; sublime fruit quality in check and balance with itself. Finish carries through on a fair length concluding with a touch of mushroom.
