A wine expressive of its vintage and origins within our Estate. Complexing aromas of deep dark fruits, mocha, licorice and hints of spice, finishes with strength and presence on the palate.
The wine remained on skins for up to four weeks before being pressed and allowed to mature in old and 35% new French oak for 18 months.
HARVEST NOTES
Early November frosts caused some concerns but our windmills protected our fruit from any damage. We had ideal flowering weather and a warm, exceptionally dry growing season. The berries ripened evenly and
flavour ripeness was seen at lower sugar levels than previous years. The cool nights during harvest held the acid and we saw bright acid profiles across the pinot noir ferments.
