2024 Nomads Garden ‘Mt Bellevue Vineyard’ Pinot Blanc, King Valley
Fruit sourced from a vineyard that would have to be in contention for the best view in the valley. The vineyard not only offers stunning views it is also the perfect spot to grow delicate, fine boned and aromatic Pinot Blanc a relatively unknown variety in Australia but one we love!
The vineyard straddles the ridge line at an elevation of 652m ASL. The cooler climes of this high elevation site mean it is predominantly planted with Pinot and Chardonnay for sparkling base. There is however a solitary row of Pinot Blanc amongst the Chardonnay that was planted as a trial in the 1990’s.
Up until 2023 when we made our first wine from this vineyard the fruit was not deemed suitable for a single varietal wine and was simply blended away as the volume is so tiny.
This wine is as rare as hens teeth with only 120 odd dozen made each year given the scarcity of fruit. We think it is something special and worth celebrating. Fresh green pear on the palate paired beautifully with a mouth coating natural acidity. Drink with fresh Oysters or white fish.
