Description: Small batches of Pinot Noir were selected from sites in our own vineyards at Pipers River and Coal River Valley, along with our grower at Swansea. Each site and block has different clones and terroir, adding their own strengths and complexity to the final blend. The cooler northern maritime location at Pipers River produces Pinot Noir that is focused and structured, while the Coal River Valley in the south adds texture and softness to the mid-palate. The deep garnet colour leads into spiced cranberries, black cherry, plum and mocha aromas. Given time, these aromas are complex with Asian five spice, and savoury characters. the palate is bright with fleshy, red fruits, spice, silky tannins and natural acidity keeping flavours lively to the long finish. As the wine ages, expect more savoury notes developing alongside the spicy, dark fruits.
