Tasting Notes
Shashi, who is the owner and winemaker at Avani, worked at Bass Phillip with Phillip Jones and during her time she spent many years making wine using fruit from the Issan Vineyard so it is great to see her be able to do that once again with this new range of wines. This is a Pinot Noir that leans more to the savoury side, as does the Chardonnay from this vineyard. It is certainly one of the finer examples of Australian Pinot Noir I have tested in quite some time and Shashi attributes the hard work in the vineyard with biodynamic farming to be the secret her success with this debut release. It will be exciting to see how these wines involve as a project and in bottle. - Pete L
