Limestone Pinot Noir, 2013
Shipped and sold by Redstone Winery
This is the second single-vineyard Pinot Noir release from the Lime-stone vineyard. Located on the Twenty Mile Bench, the vineyard is farmed sustainably. A classic Pinot vintage, the 2013 growing season allowed Pinot to reach optimal ripeness and intensity while thoughtful picking decisions conserved freshness of fruit and acidity. The nose is pretty, with vibrant red fruit notes – think fleshy Morello cherry and hints of red raspberries complemented by a lovely earthiness and a hint of violet. Red fruit notes replay on the palate, balanced by a hint of can-dy cinnamon hearts and smoke.
Pairings: Pinot is renowned for being an extremely food-friendly wine and the 2013 Limestone Pinot is no exception. With its structure and fresh acidity, it will work well with rich yet delicately seasoned dishes be they meat-based or vegetarian. Try it with a wild mushroom risotto, hearty cassoulet or your favourite duck dish.
The 2013 vintage was featured in the July 2023 Wine Club package.
