Kooyong is located on the Mornington Peninsula at Tuerong and focuses on producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wine; which are both suited to the Peninsula’s cool maritime climate. Kooyong is a ‘domain’ in the true sense of the word and the wines are made from 100% estate grown fruit at its own on-site winery. Vibrant ruby red. Opulent and perfumed with cherry and raspberry notes with supporting minerality. A finely structured palate supported by persistent acidity and tannin. This wine shows the richness and depth. It has a good linear palate and is supported with subtle oak. An elegant wine which is both approachable when young and showing potential for further improvement with age. Drink over the next six years Boy, hasn't Aussie pinot Noir come a long way. This is a beautiful bistro pinot noir, full of length, dryness, minerality and style. It almost out-Burgundies Burgundy with its dry, savoury length, its twists of dried herbs leaps of acidity making it a perfect dinner table partner. A delight. Drink: 2008-2011. 91 points. Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront This junior Kooyong wine is growing to draw o an expanding range of purchased fruit and has ventured a little further away from the ripe signature house style in ’07. More cool and herbaceous than the estate styled wines, but offering plenty to enjoy; red fruits, fragrance and juicy pinot flavour. 91 points; Nick Stock; Wine Business Monthly, WBM 100, May 2008
