- TASTING NOTE: An attractive, lighter style of Pinot with the gorgeous sweet cherry fruit flavours and gentle tannins typical of the variety.
- ABOUT THE WINE: Badged ‘Great Southern’, this year all the Pinot was sourced from Mt Barker vineyards. Some of the parcels of fruit were from relatively young vines; they tend to have more delicate fruit characters, so they are particularly well suited to this lighter, more approachable style of wine. It’s then bottled early to maintain the vibrancy of fruit.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The Mount Trio vineyard was established in 1989 by winemaker Gavin Berry and his wife Gill Graham and is situated in the elevated Porongurups sub-region of the Great Southern in Western Australia. Gavin’s long-held love for the land and agriculture, developed as a child growing up on a northern NSW wheat farm, was the driving force behind the venture and today, Mount Trio represents a very personal expression of the Berry family’s life.
Named after one of the peaks in the stunning Stirling Ranges, the vineyard is a winemaker’s dream site, one of only a handful that borders the tiny Porongurup National Park. With an absolute northerly aspect, cooling breezes and gravelly loam soils, the gentle slopes also allow for good air movement and drainage. With typically warm dry summers and cool wet winters, these conditions have proven ideal for viticulture and this sub region is especially highly regarded for its suitability for Riesling and Pinot Noir. Gavin and Gill run the vineyard on a regime of ‘low intervention’. The soils are low in fertility so there is not excessive vigour. The vines have a natural balance so the vineyard is not prone to disease risk and there is very little requirement for shoot thinning or reducing crop levels. The vines are low yielding (generally less than 3T/acre) with the fruit having great colour and flavour.
