(2022) A whole variety of Pinot clones in the mix for this wine from vineyards 50 kilometres from the coast. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and 40% whole bunches, aged eight months in French oak (10% new barrels). Medium-pale garnet colour. Fragrant, cherry pie nose, a little hint of truffle and forest floor, but really more about upfront red fruit. More of that buoyant, juicy and fleshy cherry and berry character on the palate, with a dark stripe of liquorice tannin and acidity. There's a little feeling of Campari bitters in the finish here, that is perhaps slightly at odds with the gloriously perfumed style.
