Mount Trio 'Porongorup' Pinot Noir 2023
Couldn't load pickup availability
- TASTING NOTE: This is a delicate wine with the complex fruit characters typical of cool climate Pinot. It has bright fruit flavours of cranberry and tamarillo and these delicious fruit flavours are beautifully balanced by the gentle tannins and light charry characters. Typical of Pinot Noir, it has a moderate palate weight with a good textural quality. Its good acidity and delicate tannins means it is beautiful drinking now and it will also handle several years in the cellar for further complexity.

ABOUT THE WINE: "We aim to make a well flavoured and beautifully textured wine with the distinctive varietal characters typical of the Pinot Noir grape.
All the fruit is from our Porongurup vineyard; with the vines now 20 - 30+yrs old they are typically low yielding and the Pinot ripens fully but slowly in the moderate conditions with very good flavour development as a result." Mount Trio -
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.
