Description / Reviews
"Spring began warm and wet, with strong early growth, before a rare frost on 3 November cut yields across the region. Our sheltered sites fared better than most, though yields were reduced. From mid-November to February, a long drought set in, testing the vines with months of intense dryness. The deep roots of our old vines proved their resilience, producing fruit of striking quality. Harvest commenced on 25 March and unfolded slowly over six weeks, allowing exceptional selectivity in picking. The fruit that arrived was beautiful: concentrated, flavourful, and full of energy. The resulting wines show vivid character, depth, and balance. Bright ruby in colour, lifted aromatics of violets and rose intertwine with raspberry, red cherry and a hint of nutmeg. The palate is layered with vibrant red berries and cherry, alongside subtle blue fruit and cocoa. Silky fine tannins and fresh acidity create balance and flow, leading to a lingering cherry finish with delicate spice. Balanced, expressive and engaging, this is a joyful Pinot Noir." - Winemaker Notes
