2021 was an extremely small cropping year for us, it was a touch warmer than 2020 hence this wine has a bit more generousity than the previous year. Satsuma plum, ripe cherries with hint of stalk and wood in the back ground, long finish with great acidity as usual, we love this wine!!

1985 plantings, 15% whole bunch, 13% new French oak. Decaying leaves meld with wild strawberry, roast tomato, ferrous minerals, and some smoky, sappy undertones. It’s restrained in its fruit profile which suits magically with the autumnal and savoury aromas. There’s a lovely cooling mineral lift through the palate but while still intense and detailed. A sappy mouthfeel wrapping around macerated strawberry, gentle ferrous minerals, subtle button mushroom, bright red cherry, and smoke. Silty tannins are fine but assertive, providing frame and carry through the palate. A fine and detailed Pinot Noir, melding fruit and savoury to a tee and with lovely detailed length to boot, and brilliant intensity.
