Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2021 750ml

A new benchmark for tricky seasons, but ultimately produced wines of exceptional quality. The growing season was introduced by a wet, cold and windy spring. These conditions continued through our key flowering and fruit set periods in October and December. Disturbed weather patterns continued right through January, and whilst the weather settled in February, it was not its usual scorching self. We experienced cool periods through both veraison and ripening, delaying and then slowing down our harvest. Ultimately these conditions resulted in superb fruit condition with no disease pressure, and small berries bursting with flavour.

TASTING NOTES
Spice from the careful use of oak. An energetic palate of red cherry, strawberry and black plums leads to a long finish framed by firm, fine tannins.

 

Alc: 14%
