2022 Passing Clouds Kilmore Pinot Noir

Graeme and Sue Leith planted their Bendigo property in 1974, with Shiraz & Cabernet Sauvignon. They started out making a hearty Shiraz / Cabernet blend, which they still produce to this day, under the Graeme’s blend.

After years of drought, they looked to Macedon and a cooler site to grow Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In 2010 their fruit was ready. By this time Cameron, second generation Leith winemaker had taken over the reins.

Today Cameron makes hearty Bendigo reds and delicate Macedon Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Riesling.

The fruit for this Kilmore (on the outskirts of the Macedon Ranges GI) Pinot Noir comes off a single site which sits 300 metres above sea level. It is made for early consumption. It has aromas of fresh red berries, and the palate has bright, red fruit characters and savoury mid palate. It's a very pleasing and easy to drink Pinot
