Bourgogne Passetoutgrains AOC is a reasonably humble appellation wine able to be produced from grapes grown in the entire Burgundy region and is a blend of gamay and pinot noir. Â A search of local retail shelves will be mostly unyielding. Â Eldridge Estate outside of Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula here have produced the coyly named “PTG” which is David and Wendy Lloyd’s local interpretation of this Burgundian blend.
It’s a fairly straight forward style of wine, yet appetising. Â Its aromatics remind of raspberry and fresh red cherry, while the palate has a medium body, with some gentle texture and length. Â Plainly a well made wine, it is a good example of a style little seen on local shores.
