Ben Haines Pinot Noir 2022 from Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia, is a light-medium bodied red wine with a fragrant profile. It showcases wild herbs, leaf litter, and fresh tangy fruit, all wrapped in a velvety texture. The wine is crafted in a 'lo-fi' manner, meaning minimal intervention, allowing the whole-bunch fruit to shine with sappy freshness, crisp acidity, gentle oak tannins, and ripe summer pudding fruit flavors. It’s recommended to serve lightly chilled to enhance its vibrant character.
