About
100% Pinot Noir drawn from vineyards across Geelong's key sub-regions — Moorabool Valley, Surf Coast and the Bellarine Peninsula — Hand-picked parcels ferment separately in open fermenters with about 10% whole bunch and gentle punchdowns over seven to ten days, then six months in oak with 15% new. Bright, fruit-driven and floral: vibrant red berries and lifted perfume over fine tannins and subtle savoury complexity, fresh and energetic with impressive natural structure.
Ben Mullen grew up near the Barossa Valley and studied viticulture and oenology at Adelaide University. He then worked vintages at Torbreck, Yarra Yering, Domaine Dujac in Burgundy and Craggy Range in New Zealand before returning to Geelong. Ben Hine came to wine from hospitality and law, and now runs the business side as a risk and financial-services lawyer.
Mulline works only with growers who share their approach and leans on organic-friendly vineyard practices. Bottles close with screwcap, use lightweight local glass, and ship in recycled cardboard.
Serve it lightly chilled to keep the fruit and acidity bright. It drinks well now, though the structure means a good bottle will hold for a few years too.
Producer note
Mulline is a collaboration between two Bens — winemaker Ben Mullen and Ben Hine, who studied oenology at Adelaide and worked at Torbreck, Yarra Yering and Domaine Dujac, and Ben Hine.
