Wine Description
A blend of Pinot Noir parcels from our own vineyard at Pipers River, Coal River Valley and the Upper Derwent Valley, each providing distinctive flavours from each terroir, building complexity into the final blend.
Aromas of spiced rhubarb, sweet red cherries, Asian five spice and vanilla mingle with earthy notes and the distinct fruity spice notes of sassafras forest. The palate is seductive with fleshy red and black cherries. It develops with spices from the whole bunch inclusion and French oak barrels. The natural acidity keeps the palate youthful and juicy and leads towards a finish with silky tannins.
