Athletes of Wine Vino Athlético Macedon Pinot Noir 2021

The Athletes of Wine, a Melbourne-based sommelier duo of Matt Broke and Liam O’Brien work closely in the vineyards alongside the growers to ensure their relationship is less “business transaction” and more hands-on, interactive and symbiotic.

Winemaker notes:

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.
