Lowestoft Pinot Noir 2019 [Gold]

Gold medal, Royal Adelaide Wine Show 2921.

Small parcels were hand-picked from our prestigious vineyards in the Lower Derwent and fermented separately in open top fermenters with 25% whole bunch fruit. Gentle hand plunging and occasional pump-overs produced bright concentrated colour and lifted perfume. Matured individually in large format French oak (30% new) for 10 months prior to blending and bottling with minimal fining and filtration.

COLOUR

Lucid crimson in the glass.

AROMA

Bright and fluid. A delicate nose of cranberry, bright strawberry and brambly undertones.

PALATE

Layered whole bunch spice drives the palate, with ripe, fresh raspberry, subtle quince and five spice providing exotic lift, line and length.
