Description / Reviews
"Parcels of Pinot Noir clones 77 7, 114 and D5V12 were fermented separately with small inclusions of whole berry and wholecluster. Matured for 11 months in 500L French oak puncheons (15% new) with minimal intervention prior to bottling. Boasting considerable depth and a generous, velvety richness, there is an abundance of ripe red berries, black cherry fruit, sweet spice and hints of fragrant forest floor, all layered on top of smooth and silky tannins." - Liam McElhinney, Winemaker, OSSA
"Deep, bright red-purple colour, and a similarly bright, fresh and youthful aroma of dark cherry laced with spices and a fresh-herb note that could be from grape stems. The wine is brilliantly fresh and vital in the mouth, with intense black-cherry pinot fruit and a lacework of fine but persuasive tannins, then a long and harmonious carry. A smashing young pinot that drinks superbly now and should age extremely well too." - 96 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
"Pure red and blue fruits, some nice baking spices, palate is fresh with lovely shaping, succulent tannin, great shape and extension, very well made wine, lovely." - 96 Points, Melbourne Royal Wine Awards 2023
"Bright ruby with a magenta edge. Notes of red and dark cherries, wild strawberries and raspberry coulis cut with hints of undergrowth, fine spice, mountain herbs and wildflowers. A pure flow of plush fruit in the palate entry, plentiful in spice and light gamey notes with a tight, chalky tannin framework and pulsing mineral line. Finishes long, elegant and quite sweetly fruited." - 95 Points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
