James Halliday – No details about this wine but it shouts of an abundance of whole-bunch characters exacerbating the meaty reduction and yet, it’s also compelling. Spiced red cherries, twiggy and sappy with crunchy acidity backed up by textural, lightly sandy tannins. - Jane Faulkner

Circe is prominently known for its exquisite renditions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, wines that exemplify the beauty and complexity of cool-climate viticulture. Circe's Pinot Noirs are often characterized by their bright red fruit flavors, underpinned by earthy undertones and subtle hints of spice. The Chardonnays, on the other hand, express a delicate balance between citrusy freshness and a rich, buttery mouthfeel. Both these varietals, nurtured meticulously in Circe's vineyards, stand as testaments to the estate's dedication to producing wines that are both authentic and evocative of their terroir. The name "Circe", derived from Greek mythology, reflects the enchanting and mesmerizing qualities of these wines, drawing wine enthusiasts into their allure with every sip.
Circe wines are lovingly crafted in Victoria, a region celebrated for its diverse microclimates and distinctive terroirs. Nestled in the cooler parts of the Mornington Peninsula, Circe's vineyards benefit from the maritime influences of the nearby ocean, ensuring longer ripening periods for the grapes. This particular geography, characterized by its rolling hills, fertile soils, and temperate weather, offers the ideal canvas for growing the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes that Circe has become so renowned for. Each vineyard plot is a reflection of the region's essence, capturing the spirit and character of Victoria's winemaking heritage.
While all of Circe's wines are lauded for their quality and depth, their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay expressions often stand out as the stars of the portfolio. The Pinot Noir, with its aromatic bouquet of red berries, plums, and subtle forest floor nuances, offers a palate that is both intricate and harmonious. Meanwhile, Circe's Chardonnay, with notes of lemon zest, green apple, and toasted almonds, presents a well-rounded and lingering finish, making it a favorite among white wine enthusiasts. These wines, each telling a story of the vintage year, soil, and craftsmanship, are reflective of the passion and expertise that go into their creation.
The term "affordable" can be subjective, varying from one individual to another. However, when evaluating the quality, craftsmanship, and the unique terroir-driven profiles of Circe wines, many enthusiasts find them to provide exceptional value. Positioned within the premium segment of the wine market, Circe wines might command a slightly higher price point than some mainstream labels. However, for those who value the artistry of winemaking and the nuanced flavors that wines like those of Circe bring to the table, the investment is often deemed worthwhile. Their wines not only offer a delightful tasting experience but also serve as a gateway to the rich tapestry of Victoria's wine narrative.
