Pinot noir is all about the finish and that’s where this wine is at its strongest. This is a refined pinot with complexity stitched intricately throughout. We see cherries, plums, minerals and sweet spices but everything is melted together. There’s also graphite and cedarwood oak but the character and vigour of the fruit keep ahead of it.

This is a wine you can just sit and admire but really, also, it’s a beautiful wine to drink. Texture. I should have mentioned the texture. There’s a grain from integrated spice and twig-like notes but as a whole, it feels like silk.
