Tasting Notes

Appearance
A bright crimson.

Aroma
Aromas of red fruits - strawberry, raspberry, red currant, coupled with a floral and spicy note.

Palate
The palate has layers of fine grained and silky tannins. It is intense and full, with layers of flavour and texture leading to a long, linger ing finish
Cellaring potential
Cellar for at least five years, and preferably more than 10.

Vinification
MV6 (40%), G5V15 (40%), Abel (12%), 667 (5%) D4V2 (3%) from blocks 1, 2 5 and 3. The fruit was handpicked between 14 – 20 March, with each parcel handled separately in the winery. Hand sorted and carefully de-stemmed, the whole berries were then transferred to oak fermentation vats for natural fermentation. A small portion (10-20%) of whole bunches were used in 2023. Once fermentation was complete, the wines were transferred to French 500L oak barrels for maturation, 25% of which were new. The wines were left undisturbed until estate bottling in late January 2024.

Expert Reviews

Huon Hooke
94 Pointsout of 100.
Medium red with a tinge of purple and a complex foresty bouquet of sour cherry, undergrowth and leaf-litter. Hint of fivespice. Intense and bright, lively palate with fleshy richnes and very fine, supple tannins in perfect balance with the flavour. Delicious pinot noir.

Campbell Mattinson
94 Pointsout of 100.
I thought this was a bit simple at first but it grew and grew and ended up being anything but. It tastes of peanut shells and black cherries, cloves and assorted sweet spices, with smoky reduction and twiggy herb-chinotto notes also contributing. It’s one of those wines that tightens as it breathes too. In the end this wine’s quality is abundantly clear.
