There’s always a distinctive sense of place with the Black Estate wines, this PN is no exception with a natural core of mineral and stone, a fine savoury dried herb quality and fruit scents of dark cherry and plums and forest flowers. Fantastic on the palate with a fruits, dried herb and mineral core, textures and mouthfeel from tannins and acidity present a taut, youthul expression and high complexity from the collection of flavours and textures. Lengthy youthful finish a wine best enjoyed from 2024 through 2034.

Focused, precise and herby, the 2020 Pinot Noir Netherwood has a vertical frame compared to the Pinot Noir Home. It is upright, like a soldier standing to attention. It's a wine that deserves time in your glass and your bottle, with tannins providing a resolute structure in which the flesh of the wine currently resides. It has an intriguing combination of woody herbs and savoury notes alongside plums and Earl Grey tea. It is a wine you want to analyse more fully to understand its nuances. Distinctive, characterful and somewhat mysterious. Definitely worth exploring.
