2021 Eminence Pinot Meunier

A bright yet savoury light red with the ethereal, redolent pinot meunier x-factor. Pinot meunier is light-bodied, low tannin and plenty of red fruit flavours - which are juxtaposed against an earthy, savoury backdrop. The fruit flavours are reminiscent of pomegranate and blood plum, with an appealing kick of a bresaola-like meatiness on the palate. It's a light-bodied wine but has real presence and character. Released in early 2021, it will confidently age for a few years and flesh out over time.

Clare Burder is the unstoppable force behind Eminence Wines, a grower-producer located in the sub alpine region of Whitlands in north east Victoria. The high altitude (840m) site is one of the coldest vineyards in Australia and features rich, free draining Devonian era loam soils. Planted with pinot gris, pinot noir, pinot blanc, meunier and chardonnay, the site presents an immense challenge viticulturally but produces concentrated fruit with remarkable acidity and varietal purity. The winemaking is simple: all wines are barrel fermented and/or aged, gently handled, not filtered or fined and are typically made without any adjustments or additives except for sulphur. The result is a range of interesting, characterful, gentle wines which capture the essence of Whitlands.

Clare from Eminence wines recommends going for salt, fat and ideally meat when pairing with pinot meunier. Salt will help bring out the fruit flavours, fat will tame the acid and meat will complement the savoriness of the wine. Try pairing with prosciutto pasta or pizza.
