Gorgeous wine. So bright and juicy. Tiny production. Great acid and purity. Long length. Just superb pinot

Charming little thing, this. Wild fruits, rosemary and a hint of earth. Subtle oak and soft mouthfeel. Delicious already.

Solid Pinot very easy to drink but not a huge amount going on

Good acid, good balance, dark red fruit and light bodied elegance. Slightly more depth and sophisticated “feel” compared with the Estate, but it’s not a long shot.

Lovely, balanced pinot. Delightful way to finish a long lunch, paired with flavoursome cheeses.

Bright, punchy red fruit with a generous layer of savoury herbal notes. Plum and cherry flavours are well supported with a subtle hint of bacon fat. Plenty to keep you interested. Michael Downer nails it again

Had a glass of this with a beautiful quail dish at FINO restaurant in Seppeltsfield. Yummy bright red fruits and a soft supple finish. Very drinkable.
