Description

Powerful yet elegant this Pinot Noir displays aromas of dark cherry, floral, and a hint of spicy oak. Wild yeast fermentation has created a wonderful array of savoury characters and underlying earthy tones. The silky palate shows rich red fruit flavours, savouriness and well integrated oak. Gentle acidity and fine tannins give this wine great balance and structure promising longevity. Cellaring potential – will mature gracefully over the next 8 years.
