D.M.L Pinot Noir, Yarra Valley

The team behind DML VIN have a thirst for top quality, single site Pinot Nor. This Yarra Valley example is true to the DML philosophy which favours an evocative, savoury style of Pinot. It highlights the exceptional fruit purity of grapes from the region’s best growers, with beautiful earthy notes. The wine is made in extremely small quantities.

DML (D’Anna Middleton Lewis) VIN is a passion project making expressive single-vineyard Pinot Noir in Victoria. When AFL player Jordan Lewis visited his very first vineyard while honeymooning in Florence, he fell hook, line and sinker. Once he returned home, he dedicated himself to making up for lost time, and immersed himself in the world of wine. One bottle evaded him: the Langton’s Classified ‘Excellent’ 1er Pinot Noir. To source it, he got in touch with Hoddles’ Franco D’Anna. The two got on like a house on fire. Mount Mary’s Sam Middleton soon completed the trio. Together, the three characters that make up DML seek to create exemplary regional Pinot from exceptional parcels around Victoria.
