William Downie Pinot Noir Camp Hill 2023

Gippsland, Australia

Wild strawberry and cranberry show restraint, wrapped in herbal intensity and cooling mint. The palate feels angular and lean, driven by piercing acidity that overshadows the fruit. A softer middle provides some relief, but the wine lacks the density to fill out its taut frame. Shows promise but needs more concentration.

William Downie

William Downie makes single-vineyard and regional Pinot Noir from Gippsland and, historically, the Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula. The wines are lean, precise, and built for the table rather than the trophy shelf.
