Little Hampton Pinot Noir 2024

Wild berry fruits fall immediately onto the palate. Complexed with sandalwood,bramble and some blood orange. A focused and mineral core has drive, vibrancy and poise. Fine and lacey tannins frame the complex cardamom spice and subtle fruits. The wine has energy and lift that can only been seen in high altitude, cool climate Pinot Noir. This Little Hampton Pinot noir is uncompromising in its purity and identity.
