This wine displays a deep garnet colour. Matured for 8 months in 30% new French oak barrels and the remainder in one to two year old seasoned barrels. The result is classic Pinot Noir characters of vibrant cherry with mulberry and cranberry, complemented by spicy whole bunch and a creamy lees texture. It has a very fine structure and excellent long finish.

“Vibrant ruby red hue. Nose lifts with amaro herbs and crushed cherries. Sweet and soft red fruits on entry, a herbal note fills in through the middle and adds character. Decent length with a dry line of silky tannins caressing it to the end. Good value here.”Stuart Knox, The Real Review
