Pinot Noir

This wine displays a wonderful concentration of dense brambly fruit (raspberry, blackberry and currant) while the palate shows staunch structure within a velvet glove. A wine worthy of long cellar aging.

Winemaker's Notes

• Multiple clones play a role in the layered complexity of this wine;

• Careful bunch selection and oak tank fermentation, followed by gentle aging in small barrels for up to 10 months.

Food Matches

Mushrooms, pork liver pates, tuna, grilled salmon, roasted chicken, duck and other game birds.
