"This Australian Pinot Noir has been showered with praise: superb, excellent, and delicious!"

“Cherry and strawberry notes are vibrant, accompanied by rose petals and sweet spices. Medium-bodied, bright, and fruity, with creamy tannins. A delicious aroma of ripe strawberry persists throughout the palate, with a long, savory finish. Drink now or celller. Screw cap.” (James Suckling 2022)

About the wine:

Alluring and lush, with aromas of juicy blackberries and hints of earth and smoke. The fruit is ripe but not overripe, and the texture is dense yet not heavy, thanks to the fresh acidity and density on the mid-palate. The grapes are blended from three vineyards and fermented with 25% whole clusters, with three punch-downs per day before being pressed and racked into barrels (21% new) for aging. A Pinot Noir that appeals to the public and balances richness with structure and freshness.

About the wine:

The 2021 Pinot Noir has a slightly reductive nose, with notes of black cherries, capers, blackberries, and cigar boxes. On the palate, the fruit floods the mouth, revealing an abundance of pink and red berries. It is supple, full-bodied, and juicy, with just enough savory tannins to shape and balance the fruit. Superb. Excellent.
