We want Vino Athlético Pinot Noir to announce itself as a wine with presence and character, clearly made from low yielding, high quality fruit. The wine should be attractively fruity, supple but not simple and the diverse aromatics and fine structure should tell you there is ambition to be more than just a wine for the masses. We believe tannin is a key part of great Pinot, particularly Macedon Pinot, even when it’s under $40 a bottle.
