2022 Sidewood Estate Pinot Noir, Adelaide Hills

Solid proprietary pinot melding clones, judicious oak handling and sensitive inclusion of whole bunches. The bunchy spice finds synergy with the red fruits, cinnamon, sandalwood and clove of the make-up. Fine sappy length. At this price, hard to do better.

Displaying complex aromas of raspberry, sour cherry and hints of forest floor. The palate is seamless and elegant with flavours of strawberry, dark cherry and rhubarb over layers of mushroom and truffle. The French oak barriques add ample but delicate tannins with a creamy palate delivering a generous and delightful length.
