There’s no mistaking the pull of Pinot aromatics in this wine — scents of blackcurrant, dark plum skin, and dried raspberry. On the palate, a fine layer of tannins appears first from the fruit, then from the wood. Textured, fruity and dry, with flavours that mirror the bouquet, followed by texture from the lees, tannins, and winemaking. A touch of dried herb and natural savoury notes add length and mouthfeel across the palate. Best enjoyed from the moment you’re ready and over the following 1–3 weeks. It’s fine to keep this in the fridge, pouring into your glass and letting it warm up there. You can also leave it unopened for a year, if preferred.
