Intense, ripe, almost lush fruit-forward pinot noir with floral, red rose, plum, cassis, anise and mixed spice flavours. A delicious wine, with a velvet texture and lingering finish. Will benefit from a little bottle age but can be appreciated now.
96 points Bob Campbell MW therealreview.com 10 MAR 2022 Drink 2022–2035
Hand harvested fruit was open top fermented using indigenous yeasts in traditional wooden cuvees. After pressing it was matured in 40% new French oak barriques for 18 months. It was fined to protect the flavours and aid brightness in the glass. Bottled without filtration, promoting soft mouth feel and texture.
It has a unique site derived complexity and texture combined with black cherry/plum fruit flavours. It will continue to develop for up to 10 years and will always be a wonderful counterpart to any game food.
