An approachable, bright and lively Pinot Noir with beautiful juicy red fruits and good structure. Pale ruby with brilliant clarity. Exotically fragrant with notes of calfskin leather, Japanese Plum, sweetheart cherries, raspberry, charcuterie and freshly mown clover hay. Silky and elegantly medium bodied, the wine is seamless and supple in the mouth, the tannins are beautifully fine on the complex finish. A sophisticated and food-friendly style of Pinot Noir silky enough for the beginner yet serious enough for the connoisseur. This wine can be enjoyed now or cellared with confidence through 2030.

56% of the fruit from our Pencarrow Vineyard, 38% from Woolshed vineyard and the balance from the Pinnacles vineyard.

A period of cold soak followed by predominantly wild ferments with gentle pump-overs and plunging. Pressed to oak barrels and left to age, soften through malolactic fermentation and gain complexity over 10 months.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with Peking Duck, Beef Bourguignon or a juicy T-bone steak, medium rare. Delicious now, this will continue to improve through 2027 and drink through 2030.
