Description
"Ghostgum Vineyard Pinot Noir is deep, vibrant cherry red in colour - a sign of the intense fruit concentration from such a low yielding vintage. It is highly perfumed Pinot Noir with notes of morello cherry, thyme, blood plum, clove, and tahini, with lively whole-bunch aromas weaving their way through. It has a fresh, bright palate where the acidity, tannin and fruit dance together. Flavours of pomegranite, fresh beetroot, and wet slate slowly unfurl as the wine opens up." - Winemaker Notes
"The four blocks of Pinot Noir were planted between 1994 and 2021. Cropping is deliberately kept extremely low to encourage intensity and complexity. Fermentation includes 10% whole bunches for two blocks, 100% for another and completely destemmed for the final block. The final wine averaged 12 days on skins and spent ten months maturing in French oak hogsheads. An appealing crimson red hue here, the nose displays some undergrowth notes with a little briar and earthiness. We have aromas of animal skins, cherries, florals, nutmeg, cinnamon and a tiny touch of oak. A wine of finesse and elegance, this is pristine with a seductive texture, silky tannins and a lingering finish with excellent length. A cracking Pinot for enjoying over the next four to eight years." - 94 Points, Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot
