Gold Medal  

Halliday Wine Companion 95 points.

Hand-picked fruit from the Lower Derwent Valley; up to 25% whole bunches; gentle hand plunging and occasional pumpovers. Matured 10 months in 30% new, large-format French oak. Stunning Derwent Valley pinot noir of grace and beauty. Varietally exact red and black cherry fruits are the theme, amplified and never distracted by skilful, subtle work with whole bunches and French oak. Great potential. Purity, class and joy! 95 points.

COLOUR

Crimson with ruby hues.

AROMA

Exotic spice and rosemary envelope the nose with a lifted current of juicy cherry, red berries and bright pomegranate. 

PALATE

Layers of anise and five spice envelope the structured palate and intertwine with intense black plum and juicy dark cherries. Bright red berry acidity and graceful tannins ensure this is a wine with silky texture and persistent length.

CELLARING

Will reward careful cellaring of seven to ten years.
