Lark Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023 12.5% 750ml

Tasting Notes

Aroma
Lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry and blood plum, layered with hints of spice; clove, smoked tea and dried herbs.
Food matching
Duck, mushroom risotto, chargrilled wagyu.

Vinification
Hand-picked in small parcels, the Dijon 115 clone was fermented 100% whole bunch, while the MV6 and Pommard were destemmed and fermented traditionally.

Maturation
After pressing, the wine matured in French oak barrels (25% new) for 12 months before blending and bottling.

Vintage notes
2023 was a cool and slow-developing season, shaped by regular rainfall and mild temperatures. While disease pressure was high, attentive canopy and yield management paid off. The extended ripening period allowed for excellent flavour development at modest sugar levels, preserving natural acidity and freshness.
