Created from a single vineyard site low on the slopes of Bannockburn this Pinot Noir speaks with great eloquence of its origins. Very high quality fruit and excellent physiological ripeness allowed for a generous inclusion of whole bunches in the ferment, adding spice and texture to the wine, and further complexity and harmony was encouraged with extended maturation in barrel. This wine shows a dense core of bramble-fruit, suggestions of star
anise and cinnamon, firm yet pliable tannins and a structure defined by length and elegance.
Fine tension and minerality underline the palate and indications are strong for a decade or so of cellaring should you wish.
