"Deep garnet in hue this wine delivers aromatics of violets, red fruits and oak spice. Aged in a mix of 1/3 new and seasoned French oak barriques you will find layers of red fruits, cherries on the palate and fine well-structured tannins with a silky oak finish. Food match: Merino Lamb. Cellar 7-10 years.
Our second vintage to be released in our Premium Collection, from the Soli Vero Pinot Noir range. 'Soli Vero' – Soil Truth is a wine built on a cornerstone of authenticity. Single-vineyard sourced from Bendigo, Central Otago. Both in the vineyard and the winery the site and wine is managed and tended to in a custodial manner. Continually ensuring the wine is guided to a true expression of the terroir and framed in an honest reflection of the land from whence it came."
5 Stars Michael Cooper (2020 Vintage)
"The classy, very ageworthy 2020 vintage, grown at Bendigo, is a single-vineyard red (Soli Vero means 'Soil Truth'), matured in French oak barriques (33 per cent new). Deep ruby, it is highly fragrant, mouthfilling and sweet-fruited, with rich, vibrant cherry, plum and spice flavours, complex and savoury, and ripe, supple tannins. Still youthful, it's well worth cellaring to 2025+."
5 Stars & 96/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Gracefully elegant and poised, the wine shows sweet plum, dried herb, hazelnut and fragrant spice aromas, leading to a splendidly refined palate that's concentrated and persistent. The wine offers layers of fine texture and complex flavours, promising to evolve magnificently. At its best: 2023 to 2032."
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, July 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Pure, ripe, varietal, floral and enticing complex bouquet. Flavours of fresh cherry and sweetness of barrel, mineral, floral and complex. An abundance of fine tannins and salivating acidity deliver and delicious mouthfeel and contrasting core fruit flavours. Textures continue with a fine unfiltered-like quality, medium+ acidity and long persistent finish filled with pinosity and style. A lovely wine with best drinking from 2023 through 2030+"
5 Stars & 18.5+/20 (94) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, July 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Deep, even, ruby-red with purple hues. This has an elegant, full bouquet, penetrating black cherries, black raspberries entwined with dark herbs, earthy minerals and black pepper dusting. Medium-full bodied, aromas of black cherries and black raspberries underlined alcohol power, showing black pepper and cloves, thyme and earth. The mouthfeel is smooth with velvety tannins and a fine grip, and lacy acidity balances the alcohol power and spice, carrying to a long, poised finish. This is an elegant, bold, black-fruited Pinot Noir with earth, herb details and underlined power and spice. Match with roasted lamb and venison backstrap over the next 8+ years. Fruit sourced from Bendigo sub-region, fermented to 14.5% alc, aged in French oak barriques, one-third new oak."
