2023 Pinot Noir.

2023 was a challenging year. The pinot fruit achieved good phenolic ripeness while hiding the berry characteristics under some very firm tannins. We pushed it through a very long cold soak to express more varietal fruit.

The wine is initially closed, with some funky notes , and then opens up to show complex pinot character. This wine will fully reveal itself once decanted.

 

2024 Pinot Noir.

On pouring the first thing you notice is the colour. A deep ruby red, full of promise. This wine is not fined or filtered, yet it  is bright and crystal clear.

The nose, mysterious and deep with underlying ripe pinot fruit. No bracken or green character here.

The palate has a textured entry, mouth filling and rich.  The long, persistant  finish has just enough acid to really make this wine sing. Sit back and enjoy the performance.
