Siwa Pinot Noir 2021, 6 pack

Description

Pinot Noir produced from fruit from the home vineyard (Siwa) in Wonga Park

After being hand-picked from our ‘Fulford Rd’ block, the batch was split in two; with 50% being whole bunch fermented, and the other half being traditionally destemmed. 10 months on full lees in barrel (French oak).

The appearance is a crimson red. Aromas of black cherry, stewed strawberry with spices such as clove and cinnamon are imminently apparent.

The palate is a gracious mix of freshness and structure. More strawberry and cherry with watermelon notes are present. There are savoury/umami notes of Oxo beef stock, dried twiggy bark and field mushrooms with more brown spice notes including some white pepper. Tannins are firm and building, yet powdery. A cocoa powder note combines with the vanillin-sweetness to take the wine down a pleasant savoury finish.

This structured style of Pinot Noir will be best enjoyed 2 – 7 years after vintage, with a high potential to age further.
