Description
Vivid red/purple colour. Immediate appeal on the nose, exhibiting primary Pinot fruit with fresh, dark forest berry aromas that lead to the youthful, firm and focussed palate. The wine has an intensely aromatic and pure flavour profile with a distinct “Macération Carbonique” fragrance from the partial whole bunch fermentation, which also adds a gentle CO2 lift, giving an elegant mouthfeel to this otherwise high energy Pinot. Very fine tannins and a long aftertaste.
