Mid red in colour with a hint of crimson to the hue. The nose provides elegant cherry and strawberry fruits accompanied by savoury notes and a dash of toasty oak. The light-bodied palate offers delicate forest fruits intermingled with cinnamon, dried herb and mocha accents. Best from 2023 to 2028.
The hand picked fruit for Coates Pinot Noir was sourced from the Christmas Hill vineyard located in the Kuitpo region of the Adelaide Hills. After picking, the Pinot was 40% whole bunch fermented with the balance crushed and destemmed across a selection of four clones.
A natural yeast fermentation proceeded over a period of two weeks before basket pressing and transferring to French oak barriques (Nadalie, Remond and Seguin-Moreau) of which one third were new. Maturation was over the course of 12 months with a single racking.
