A complex wine with red fruit flavours. Big elegant and ripe tannin structures. Will over time show more secondary and forest floor characteristics.
Our Pinot noir is not overtly fruity soft and /u0022/gsweet/u0022/g and it generally shows hints of that alluring savoury /u0022/gprimal/u0022/g character along with a dark spicy complex primary fruit perfume.
Light pale golden straw hue. Clear and brilliant. Notes of Grapefruit citrus lime and complex lees derived aromas define the nose. The palate is richer and more layered than previous vintages and the high acidity will guarantee freshness for years to come.
A complex and alluring vintage that combines the savouriness of truffles wet earth and thyme with black cherries and baked rhubarb. Grippy tannins and a salted liquorice aftertaste add a moreish texture to the finish.
Forelle pear lemon verbena and delicate tropical notes lead a precise nose before dark honey and dried nori bring umami against a green olive brininess that fills out the palate. Finally a preserved lemon salinity flavours a bracingly clean finish.
