Tasting Notes

Aroma
Characteristic perfumed, fragrant aromas highlighted by cherry and red fruits, complemented by a touch of spice and underlying French oak.

Palate
The long, silky palate has lovely elegance and delicacy, a plush, velvety texture and a finely poised finish.

Vinification
Handpicked between 14 - 30 March, with each parcel handled separately in the winery. Hand sorted and carefully destemmed with 10% whole bunches, each parcel went into traditional open fermenters. The wine underwent three days of cold soaking to ensure even and thorough extraction. Batches were on skins for 5-7 days, after which time they were transferred into French oak (500L puncheons) for 10 months, the blend was then assembled and bottled in December 2023. A blend of pinot noir clones MV6, G5V15, 115, 667, ABEL, D4V2, and 114. (Alc 13%)

Vintage notes
The 2023 season brough ‘La Nina’ weather conditions for the third year in a row. It was a cool and late ripening vintage with low yields and superby quality.
