Crafted by Yarra Valley terroir-champion Mac Forbes, the Woori Yallock Village Pinot Noir offers a vivid window into this distinctive subregion. Nestled behind the Waramate hills, Woori’s red volcanic and grey loam soils, higher rainfall, and sheltered slopes produce Pinot with both perfume and quiet power. In the cellar, Forbes keeps his touch light, allowing the vineyard’s voice to shine through. The result is a Pinot that’s highly aromatic—maraschino cherry, fresh mulch and orange oil leap from the glass—while the palate layers sappy amaro, red cherry compote and sinewy tannins into a tight yet flowing frame. A lifted and expressive Pinot from a challenging vintage that rewarded patience.
