Mulline 'Sutherlands Creek' Pinot Noir 2023
The Wine
Sutherlands Creek is a closely planted vineyard. The wine itself is superfine, with whispery tannins and an alluring nose of sweet spice, earth, forest floor, and purple flowers. This Pinot possesses remarkable transparency with fruit and abundant freshness. is quite spiced, balancing any sweet notes.
97 pts Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion 'A deepish crimson ruby. More darkly fruited and concentrated than last year's version. Dark cherries, damson plums, peony and spice on the bouquet. Saturates the palate, which is concentrated, structured, fleshy and very long. It's so good now but will get even better over the next six to eight years and probably longer. Another superb 2023 Geelong pinot from the two Bens.'
95+ pts Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front 'The ropes here are long and firm but they’re wrapped around a mountain of assorted flavours and feels. This pinot noir is quite something. It’s both tight and expressive at once, with undergrowth, loganberry, black cherry and earth flavours coming infused with dried herbs and nuts. Mulline is a star, and here’s the proof.'

About the Wine Maker 
Mulline is the creation of two Ben’s, Mullen and Hine who set out to showcase exciting single site expressions from the Geelong region with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at the centre of this. Ben Mullen heads up the winemaking and prior to setting up Mulline cut his teeth at the likes of Domaine Dujac, Yarra Yering, Oakridge, Leeuwin Estate, Torbreck & Craggy Range before returning to deep dive into the diversity of Geelong’s terroir whilst at Clyde Park. Geelong geographically is a large GI and has a lot of diversity in both soil and climate, evident in Mulline’s single vineyard wines. From the ‘by the sea’ Portarlington vineyard east of the Geelong CBD exposed to Port Phillip Bay to the warmer clay dominant Sutherland Creek vineyard North West towards Ballarat.
