La Boheme Interlude Pinot Noir 2021

Dame Nellie Melba, the operatic legend from the Yarra Valley, inspired the La Bohème range. Named after one her most famous operas, these are classic bistro wines - ethereal, aromatic, textural, sophisticated and easy to pair with food.

Medium red with brightness. Lovely scented red and dark fruits. Gentle and supple flavours with violets, spice and texture, serious but smashable.

2021 was a cool season with timely rainfall. Lovely ripening conditions during autumn, near perfect for Pinot Noir.
