Description
Bright garnet hue with a captivating fragrance that is floral and savoury, accentuated by dark red fruit and flinty aromas. Full of intrigue, this elegant Pinot is from a cooler, elevated site in Bannockburn in a relatively cool growing season resulting in a taut and energetic wine that is intricately woven with layers of red and black fruit, cedar and mushroom. The flavours are intriguing and complex with blackberry, raspberry, lilac, cardamom, wild thyme, and a hint of iodine. The palate is fluid and silky with vibrant acidity that gives the wine length and memory.
