VALLI Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir, Central Otago

Showing plushy red cherries and strawberries, followed by floral notes, forest floor and smokiness. On the palate it has velvety tannins and a perfect balance of fruit and secondary elements.

An excellent bouquet with a core of ripe red fruits from raspberry and red cherry of the forest and farmers market. There’s also plenty of smoky wood scent with spices of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. On the palate the wine is taut and youthful with tannins and acidity driving the texture then wood spices and a core of ripe fruits and a light savoury dried herb quality. A wine that simply needs more time to bring together all the attributes and meld. Length finish, well made and ready to drink from late 2024
