Pinot Noir
2024
Mid to light ruby garnet with a delicate garnet hue. The aroma opens immediately with dark cherry and wild strawberry, layered with hints of currant leaf, graphite, and anise. The nose is abundant and varietal, with subtle background notes of plum and nutmeg. The palate is soft and full on entry, revealing brooding dark cherry and a touch of cranberry that adds depth of flavour. A full, textured mid-palate is framed by firm yet rounded tannins and supple acidity, leading to a long, structured finish with a gentle whisper of supporting oak.
Handpicked and destemmed to leave whole berries, 5% whole bunch in two tonne open fermenters with hand plunging twice daily. Four day cold soak before fermentation. Pressed then racked to barrel for malolactic fermentation and maturation before blending and bottling.
