Wine Description
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.
Accolades
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”
