Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Aromas of ripe dark and red cherry, brambly fruits, spice and leather, with a hint of smoky oak. A full-bodied wine with round, mouth-filling flavours of plum, brambly fruit, dark cherry and a hint of savoury herbs. The oak integrates nicely with the fruit and the silky and linear tannin structure.

Hand-picked fruit was de-stemmed, crushed and cold soaked for five days then fermented at warm temperature with wild yeast in small open-top vats. Traditional submerging of the ‘cap’ by hand-plunging was followed by a light pressing. The pinot noir was then aged in French oak barriques for 9 months."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, April 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Youthful, complex savoury spice, plum and dark cherry, layers of fruit and oak and secondary scents from the synergies between these two attributes. Youthful, intense, fresh, varietal and fruity on the palate. Dry with a coarse silk texture, medium+ tannins and plenty of acidity for foundation and structure. There’s a core of complexity and savoury spices leading to a lengthy dry finish. Flavours continue with dark cherry and vanilla, dark rose and baking spice. Youthful and delicious with best drinking from 2025 through 2034."
