Description
"Fruit from vineyards in the Coal River, Derwent and Huon Valleys. Predominantly whole berry, 10% whole bunch, natural yeast, held on skins for 16-21 days. Pressed directly to and matured in oak (10% new). Bottled unfined." - Winemaker Notes
"The 2022 Hughes & Hughes Pinot Noir was made from fruit sourced from a selection of vineyards and was made with a predominance of whole berries, a small proportion of whole bunch (10%), fermented wild and matured in oak. On the nose, there are ripe summer strawberries, raspberry leaf tea, a hint of clove and freshly grated nutmeg and a lick of licorice, and all of that is wrapped around a core of black cherry fruit. In the mouth, the parade of flavor continues, albeit within a fine-boned frame. This is lightweight, spicy and supple. It is ductile and very pretty and only at the beginning of its journey." - 92+ Points, Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate
