For a very intimate but incredibly rewarding end to your day out in Beechworth, you simply must call into The Ninth Mile.  This tiny winery produces two Pinots from its two small vineyards, a Riesling, and a Marsanne Roussanne Viognier.  Perhaps because of its laser tight focus on such a small range, The Ninth Mile achieves a distinction, breadth and level in its Pinots and Riesling that is very seldom seen.  It is an overused word, but “stunned” really is how we felt drinking these wines and trying to understand their mysteries.  How can so much flavour and texture be crammed into one bottle?!?  Your preconceptions of what Pinot Noir can be will be blown away.  In addition to being a colourful and engaging guy, winemaker Adrian Kearton pours with a fairly heavy hand, so you really get the opportunity to fully ponder each wine.  We had such an incredible experience here.
