Wine List/Murdoch Hill

[SOLD-OUT] Murdoch Hill the Phaeton Pinot Noir 2015

Made by Michael Downer - 2017 Young Gun of Wine Winner!

'Some cracking wines coming out of Murdoch Hill over the past vintages, truly a producer to keep a keen eye on. Effortless wines of high interest and drinkability hand-in-hand. They’re not trying too hard, and winemaker Michael Downer is keen on increasing transparency in winemaking. Good things all up. This is no hipster vanity project, it’s a family producer on the move.

Fog of fragrance showing plum, lavender, roast beetroot, undergrowth and pepper-mescal scents. I like this savoury start. Sloshes in the palate with a satsifying heft yet feels fresh, lively, lifted on chompy tannins and juicy acidity. It’s a wash of soft fruit and herbs, faint walnut husk nuttiness, granite-like mineral tannins finish the wine. Satisfying as all get out."


Mike Bennie, Wine Front, 92 Points!, August 2016


"The wine was made with extraordinary care, each clone was hand picked and then fermented separately using a more delicate touch. Retaining whole berries and the inclusion of whole bunches with gentle pump over’s help to retain elegance and show the purity of the vineyard. Older French oak barrels were selected to mature the wine for a period of 9 months to retain the vibrant fruit characters. The best barrels were selected for this limited wine before the wine was bottled without fining or filtration. The resulting wine has beautiful raspberry, clove and spice aromatics with subtle red fruits supported by a textural palate with firm sappy tannins that is supported by the incredible depth of fruit."
