Our earlier-picked, red-fruited Pinot Noir, produced to be aromatic and pretty with soft, elegant tannins and minimal impact from new oak. We aim for this wine to be multi-layered and approachable whilst young, with an emphasis on primary fruit, juicy acidity and freshness. Underneath though, this wine is serious at heart and will evolve with age into a darker, broodier Pinot.

Colour: Ruby red colour
Nose: Red fruits and berries. Think of raspberries, pomegranates, red lapin cherries. Some rhubarb too. A touch of whole-bunch character gives some fennel-like herbaceousness and a jasmine-tea character. A hint of sweet spice. Cinnamon and clove.
Palate: On the palate it’s all red fruits up front. Bright, juicy and elegant. The fresh acid line carries the fruit through to the finish. There’s a textural, chewy, element to the mid palate with soft, round tannins and a hint of charcuterie. More secondary/savoury flavours emerge towards the end, as does the gentle oak influence – with slight vanillin notes.
