Sourced from the Southern Valleys, this Pinot Noir went through fermentation in open-top fermenters, with 20% whole bunch and was hand-plunged. This brought out the perfumed berry fruit, as well as increasing the silky mouthfeel of the wine. The wine was then aged for three months with a mixture of oak, including 4,500-litre French oak cuves and barrels.
TASTING NOTES
Deep garnet in colour, this wine is dark and brooding with aromas of forest floor, black cherry and chocolate-coated coffee bean. The palate has spicy, peppery notes with thyme, violets and a typical Southern Valley grainy texture. A juicy Pinot Noir which would benefit from being decanted.
Alc: 13%
