Tasting Notes

COLOUR | Light, bright red in colour.

AROMA | Expressive aromas of camphor, red cherry, pomegranate, lavender, rose water, rhubarb, dried mint and toffee apple resonate from the glass.

PALATE | This is elegant, poised and nervy from the get go. The palate is soft and builds with a core of moderately weighted red fruits. Strawberry and raspberry flavours burst forth, with a lovely crescendo of red cherry fruits. This is silky and fine boned wine, not a powerhouse but a Pinot that creates interested and shows good persistence along the palate. I would be happy smelling this all day, it’s just so damn moreish. A very pretty Pinot Noir which will reward a few years in the cellar but will show its best on it’s younger side.
