This example of Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir is a true expression of the variety, in a region that is gaining a reputation for producing quality wines. The nose is driven by an abundance of complexity, freshness and varietal markers. Fresh raspberry and strawberry lead the way into an earthy spice, moss, bark and forest floor autumnal feel.

Whole bunch herbal/potpourri characters add complexity, along with shades of sage and rosemary. Roses in bloom encapsulate the nose, offering a fresh environmental image. An expressive example, with a ‘grown up’ stature, and addictive personality.

On tasting, the wine leaps out with fresh strawberries, raspberries and cherry pip. Dusty cedar oak offers layers of intrigue, with a distinct creamy angle. The fine integrated tannins offer textural support, along with a balanced acidity adding brightness to the lighter frame work. A slippery wine, with a savoury finishing and long lingering length will please any Pinot lover, or new comer.
