Kooyong is located on the Mornington Peninsula at Tuerong and focuses on producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wine; which are both suited to the Peninsula's cool maritime climate. Kooyong is a 'domain' in the true sense of the word and the wines are made from 100% estate grown fruit at its own on-site winery.
This is a luscious, juicy wine full of fruit picked at the optimum level of ripeness. At this stage of the wine's evolution the fruit dominates with dark cherries, plums and a hint of strawberry. To support the fruit there is some spice, earth, and forest floor combined with some toasty oak.
There is great concentration of flavours on the palate with the fruit very much to the fore whilst the wine is youthful. The earthy notes are still very important to the composition of the wine and come through strongly in the aftertaste. Acid, combined with some soft tannin provides the structure.
