Description

A beautiful light ruby colour with purple shades. It is a little shy on the nose but opens quickly in the glass. Ripe crunchy red fruit, black cherry, strawberries fill the glass with hints of herbaceousness from the partially whole bunch fermentation adding extra complexity to the wine.

Elevated acidity carries the fruit beautifully on the palate which brims with hints of leather, crushed rocks, earthy components, and sour cherry. Long finish, balanced tannins, all in all a very impressive wine!

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
