2024 Marchand & Burch Mount Barrow Pinot Noir
$75.00
The Marchand & Burch Pinot Noir is sourced from the Mount Barrow vineyard located in the eastern, elevated end of the Mount Barker sub-region. Planting commenced in 2005 and is dedicated to growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for still and sparkling wine. The unique attributes of this site include an elevation of 380m and a panorama of vineyard aspects from north to south facing. Soils are some of the most ancient on the planet.
This unique terroir is instrumental in the production of this fine wine, which shows great depth of flavour, restraint, and intricate balance. Bright red fruits, dark plum, earth and smoke – powerful yet elegant Great Southern Pinot Noir.

TASTING NOTE
Vintage
A translucent ruby in the glass, this Pinot Noir opens with lifted aromas of cherry, cranberry and rose petal. Hints of rooibos, soft spice and earthy undertones add quiet complexity as the wine unfolds. The palate is finely structured and supple, with red fruit at the forefront—pomegranate, raspberry and plum—layered over subtle herbal notes and gentle oak spice. Acidity brings freshness and drive, while silky tannins give shape to a long, even finish. Elegant and expressive, this 2024 release reflects the nuance and clarity that continue to emerge from the Mount Barrow vineyard.
The grandeur of an ancient geology is beginning to make its voice heard through this respectful, exciting vinous interpretation that will evoke pleasure throughout this decade and the following.
