“Youthfully lean, this briary young pinot should flesh out considerably over time. Its delicate floral aromas of maraschino cherries, dried herbs, briar and blackberry reveal some meaty, gamey development. A moderately long palate of dark cherries, berries and restrained cedary oak finishes with a slightly sappy extract, with savoury and herbal notes.”
93/100 — Jeremy Oliver · 2011 Vintage
Producer Notes
“Dominated by suppleness; well-defined structure, and a long, drying astringency. Aroma and palate merge easily and the range of flavours is complex: a combination of light plum fruits; herbs, nuts and shitake mushroom. Lingering finish , with soft stone fruits, pomegranite, and astringency which produces a very cleansing effect.”
—Bass Phillip
About This Wine

The wine is vinified in an open stainless steel fermenter with regular plunging to extract colour and flavour. Bottled without fining or filtration.
After fermentation the wine is gravity racked into a combination of new (60%) and old French Alliers oak for a maturation period of around 15 to 18 months.
