HUON HOOKE, THE REAL REVIEW

"Light-mid yellow colour; very powerful and complex on the nose, passionfruit,

grapefruit, lemon essence and tangy, the passionfruit the only left-field

component—almost a whiff of sauvignon blanc! The wine sings on the palate,

with tangy citrusy acidity and juicy, with bucket-loads of fruit flavour all energised

by bright, refreshing acidity and a long and electric follow-through.

CAMPBELL MATTINSON, THE WINE FRONT

"This is superb. Drenched in flavour, long and complex, compelling at every turn.

Flint, green pineapple, ripe stonefruit and lemon curd characters team with

woodsmoke, cedar and steel. It sings all the way through to a very long finish. It’s

great drinking now, there’s no need to wait, but it yet has a lot of time up its

sleeve.

Parcels of Pinot Noir clones 777, 114 and D5V12 were fermented separately with small inclusions of whole berry and whole cluster. Matured for 11 months in 500L French oak puncheons (15% new) with minimal intervention prior to bottling.

Boasting considerable depth and a generous, velvety richness, there is an abundance of ripe red berries, black cherry fruit, sweet spice, and hints of fragrant forest floor, all layered on top of smooth and silky tannins.
