This is their Chinamans Terrace not their Pipeclay. Delectable did not have it but hopefully will correct. On the nose, lean, ripe; blackberries, dark cherries, cherries, strawberries, some blueberries, black raspberries, raspberries, soft minerals and pink florals. On the palate, creamy fruits of; black raspberries, raspberries, dark cherries, strawberries, loads of warm spices, gritty chalkiness, crumbled volcanic minerals, red & pink roses, bigger presence blueberries with good acidity and a well polished finish. Photos of their restaurant that was fully booked mid week and vines near their Cellar Door.

Big rich Pinot distinctive character. Dark red berries but has some savoury notes as well giving it a greater complexity than most Kiwi Pinots. Long finish.
