Kooyong is located on the Mornington Peninsula at Tuerong and focuses on producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wine; both suited to the Peninsula’s cool maritime climate.  Kooyong is a ‘domain’ in the true sense of the word.  The wines are made from 100% estate grown fruit at its own on-site winery. Vibrant ruby red; A generous, open nose of red and dark berries, and a touch of vanilla bean. The soft, creamy texture reflects the relatively warm vintage, but the sweet fruit is balanced by abundant ripe, round tannins.  The flavour spectrum ranges from strawberries, raspberries, and boysenberries, through to cinnamon and clove, tapenade and coffee. There's a thickness and richness of texture that speaks of the vintage, but the varietal character remains pure. Generous and open now, it also has the intensity to age well. With careful cellaring, this wine has very good potential for ageing.

Dark in colour, and dark and sultry in character, loaded with black fruits and Asian spice on the bouquet; the palate reveals fresh black cherry, crunchy acidity and an assertive ironstone mineral component; long, taut, unevolved and expansive, this is serious big-boned Pinot Noir. 96 Points; James Halliday Wine Companion 2012
