Pinot Noir 2021

Vintage Sourced from the Pemberton region of Western Australia, fruit was harvested early morning before being transported to the winery where fruit was crushed and stemmed before transfer to a closed fermenter. Following fermentation the must was pressed off skins to tank for MLF and before maturation in aged French oak barrels. The wine was cold settled before racking and canning with no fining agents or filtration, minimal use of sulphur dioxide. Sensory An enticing nose of raspberries, allspice and red apple skin. Subtle tones of poached pear, clove and undergrowth on the entry, guided by a bright red berry acidity and whispers of fruit tannin and grip.

Jancis Robinson (16pts) “...This doesn’t seem cloudy at all – unlike its white stablemates. Very pale garnet colour. Quite a challenge to put the essence of Pinot Noir in a can! Not a bad effort. It’s very pure and very slightly sweetly fruity. Hint of violets and good structure with very fine tannins, just the right amount of acidity. Well done! It certainly isn’t remotely complex but it’s just the sort of Pinot Noir you’d want in a can. Light and fresh. Best drunk in early 2023”
