Description

  • Subtle oak
  • Blueberry
  • Toasted spice
  • Silky tannins

"It's wonderfully complex and enticing on the nose, showing dark berry, dried herb, cured meat, earthy mushroom, and roasted nut aromas. The palate displays plush texture and finely infused tannins, finishing splendidly long and satisfying. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2025

Its dark garnet core transitions to a thin, purple-tinged rim, creating an alluring, luminous appearance. The bouquet is a harmonious blend of elegant red and dark berry fruits, complemented by subtle, soft oak notes. On the palate, rich dark fruit flavours take center stage, accompanied by layers of spice, black coffee, blueberries, and blackberries. Dried fruit notes, including cranberry, blueberry, and black cherry, are highlighted by a hint of olive brine, adding complexity. The mid-palate is full and rounded, with a silky tannin structure that leads to a long, captivating finish. Spices, toasty nuances, and savoury elements mingle with the vibrant freshness that elevates the fruit, creating a wine of extraordinary length, complexity, and balance.

Our winemaker believes that exceptional Pinot Noir lies in the purity of its fruit and the balance of its acidity, providing the wine with its structure and elegance. This wine is a testament to that philosophy, showcasing natural acidity and remarkable poise.

Food Pairing: It’s very enjoyable on its own but is also tremendously food friendly. This pinot noir pairs well with white and red meats, duck, Parma ham, grilled line fish, tuna, wild mushrooms and traditional cheeses. Enjoy now, or cellar for up to 8 years.
