Solid, poached red fruits and rhubarb that all offered a touch of sweetness, whole bunch complexity in there too with a touch of hibiscus and ginger biscuit. Medium plus acid and medium minus tannin.

On the nose, blueberries, blackberries, dark cherries, raspberries, mint and exotic perfumes red florals. On the palate; M+ tannins, blueberries, blackberries, dark cherries, strawberries, cinnamon, clove & nutmeg, amazing perfumed red florals, red & pink roses, loamy soils, perfect mellow acidity and a delicately beautiful finish crafted with great precision. Photos of open top stainless steel fermenters with Pinot Noir grapes and the electronic entrance security gate.

A spicy, aromatic Pinot. Slightly thin on mouthfeel, but otherwise very enjoyable.

Paired with roast chicken and bread salad. Delicious with baking spices and amazing balance.

Great wine. Fresh and lively, nice strawberry notes on the nose with restrained acidity and minerality to compliment the young fruity body.
