Clyde Park

Single Block F Pinot Noir

1988 Planting of MV6 Pinot Noir on the north facing slopes of the property. The final wine was made using carbonic infusion fermentation techniques to include 25% whole cluster on top then matured in 75% new French oak hogsheads for 10 months. Cerise in colour, light cherry red and gleaming. The nose is boisterous with juicy red raspberry, summery cherry lusciousness and heady charred French oak. The brightly focussed palate is pure and a wash with juicy red currant, dried inca berries, cherries, briary blackberries and herbaceous nuance. The ultra-fine structure offers seamless tannin, supported by a lively acid backbone that will see this wine age gracefully at least for a decade. Would pair well with grilled Atlantic Salmon or eggplant lasagne.
