The Gold Coast has a lot of things but one thing it lacks is good independent bottle shops. Enter Somm at Nobby Beach. Masterfully curated by former Fesq rep Joe Caruso, the diversity that has been jam-packed into this space is quite something. I was having dinner at a BYO nearby and I was on a mission. Qwife was after Pinot but Joe and I hatched a plan with this Pinot Meunier. In short, it hit the mark and we both loved it. What a juicy and joyous wine it is!
Made with 100% whole bunches that saw carbonic fermentation for 30 days, this is energetic and vibey as it skips about. Loaded with blueberries, sour red plums and dark cherry fruit, it makes for a thrilling ride. So moreish with flashes of cola, the bottle didn't seem to last long. It's that "anytime" kind of wine that will be sure to leave you beaming from ear to ear. Splash it in my glass big time.
Drink to three years.
