“Hand-picked fruit, 20% whole bunches, wild-yeast fermented in small open-top pots, mlf, 12 months' maturation in French oak barriques (30% new). Deep purple/garnet colour. Intense and savoury in aromas of Thai herbs, anise, wood smoke, black cherry. Runs a touch wild and savoury across the tongue in shades of cherry cola, rhubarb and sage, with notes of smoke. A light dusting of spice throughout helps fuel the wine's energy.”

“A solid pinot noir with stewed cherry fruit flavours matched to notes of clove, redcurrant, woodsmoke and twig. Cirtussy, blood-orange-like acidity helps keep the brightness up though in truth there’s plenty of fragrance here and plenty of life. Firm-but-appropriate tannin is a highlight too.”
