2021 Castelli Estate Pinot Noir, Denmark Great Southern

The extra hang time from the higher altitudes and cooling Southern Ocean influence allowsmfor a lovely flavour/tannin ripeness balance.

With the use of five different clones, this wine shows the complexity and intensity that can be found in Denmark Pinot Noir. Sweet cherry flavours dominate the nose with some earthy complexity and raspberry lift from the whole bunch inclusion. The intense fruit flavour carries onto the palate and is coaxed along with stalky, savoury tannins and flinty French oak hints. Typical of Denmark Pinot, this wine is quite muscular in style and is well suited to careful cellaring over the ensuing 7-10 years.
