Description
The wine embarks on its journey with an inviting array of red fruit flavours. Strawberries and vibrant cherries take centre stage, bringing an immediate burst of freshness. But what elevates this Pinot Noir is the underpinning of its lively acidity. As you explore further, the wine's mid-palate weight becomes apparent, adding an unexpected and delightful dimension to the experience. The fruity start unfolds into a more serious and contemplative phase, marked by subtle hints of forest floor, damp earth, and savoury spices. This contrast of a lively, fruity start, balanced mid-palate weight, and the serious, earthy, savoury finish, showcases the wine's impeccable structure. This Pinot Noir is a testament to the art of winemaking, offering a harmonious narrative that dances on the palate, leaving a lasting impression of balance and refinement.
Food Pairing
A great match with salmon or other fatty fish, roasted chicken or pasta dishes.
