Overview
The 2024 Brokenwood Indigo Vineyard Pinot Noir is a Beechworth-grown Pinot Noir from one of Brokenwood’s key Victorian vineyard sources. It combines perfume, fine structure and cool-climate freshness, showing the fragrant red-fruited style that makes Indigo Vineyard such a compelling site for Pinot Noir.
This is a light-bodied, detailed and elegant Pinot Noir with graceful fruit, fine tannins and a lifted aromatic profile.
