Eldridge Estate, small 3 hectare winery on the Mornington Peninsula, produces some of Australia’s best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and a Gamay that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with many a Beaujolais Cru.
PTG is Eldridge Estate proprietor and winemaker David Lloyd’s wistful take on Bourgogne Passetoutgrains, a modest Burgundian red of Pinot Noir and Gamay. While not as serious has the estate’s ethereal Pinot Noirs, Eldridge Estate PTG is the nigh perfect red wine for summer drinking.
Light, bright and fresh with sappy raspberry and cherry fruit, this is a wine that could happily take a light chill on summers evening. Unlike so many other wines of its ilk, it is savoury, has genuine depth and a modicum of complexity. Light and frothy it may be, do not have any doubt as to the quality of its constituent materials.
