A complex nose which opens up considerably in the glass - showing stone fruit, honey, dried pear, ginger and hints of lemon curd. The palate is nutty with rich honey characters all with a lovely texture. A dry wine with a long and refreshing finish.

Our Pinot Noir is estate grown at Greystone Vineyard and was harvested at full ripeness with the grapes in healthy condition. A small portion fermented as whole bunches whilst the majority was de-stemmed before small batch fermentation around 1.8 Tonne with 100% native yeasts. All batches were hand plunged up to three times daily to extract tannin, colour and promote good yeast health. Post fermentation maceration lasted for up to 3 weeks to allow ripe fruit tannins to soften, flavours to deepen and gain in complexity. Aged for 11 months in barrel with 30% being new French oak from selected and trusted cooperages. A very nice drop indeed.
