Pinot Noir

This Pinot Noir has perfumed aromas of blackberry, redcurrant and violets plus a hint of spice. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with fruit flavours that are consistent with the nose.

Bouquet: Perfumed aromas of blackberry, redcurrant and violets, with underlying toasty and spice aromas from the oak.

Palate: Fresh and vibrant, with fruit flavours that are consistent with the nose. A good acidity balances the fruitiness, silky tannins and a touch of oak.

Food Match: Perfect with prosciutto-wrapped figs, truffle mac and cheese, or chocolate mousse with almond brittle.

Dietary Information: Suitable for vegetarians, vegans and a gluten free diet.

Cellaring Recommendation: Enjoy now, or cellar up to 2-3 years.

Individual parcels of Pinot Noir were harvested and destemmed in the vineyard, before it was delivered to the winery. A warm fermentation followed with regular cap management to help extract all the colour and flavours from the skins. Each parcel was tasted daily and the wines were pressed off their skins, when the right balance of fruit and tannin had been acheived. After aging on oak, the wine was blended, stabilised and bottled.
