Oakridge Over The Shoulder Pinot Noir 2021 750ml

This lovely wine is from Yarra Valley exhibits a striking bright, deep garnet colour with delicate purple hints that capture the eye. Its aromatic profile is distinctly expressive and welcoming, revealing layers of red currant, raspberry, and cherry that unfold gracefully. These vibrant fruit notes are enriched by subtle undertones of creamy vanilla oak and warm brown spices, a result of whole bunch fermentation that adds further depth and complexity to the wine’s bouquet. On the palate, this Pinot Noir is exceptionally smooth and juicy, delivering a well-rounded mouthfeel that is both satisfying and refined. The fine, velvety tannins are consistent from start to finish, providing a plush texture that enhances the wine’s elegance.

Complementing this structure is a lively cranberry acidity, which injects freshness and extends the finish, creating a palate-cleansing effect that invites another sip. This vintage stands out as fruit-forward yet retains a sophisticated balance, showcasing both its approachable charm and a nuanced complexity that reveals the careful craftsmanship behind its production.

Ideal for those who appreciate a Pinot Noir that combines vibrancy, texture, and layered flavours, the 2021 Over The Shoulder exemplifies the quality and character associated with Oakridge’s winemaking tradition in the Yarra Valley.
