2023 Home Block Pinot Noir

A special selection, hand-picked from a single 1ha parcel in the Lowburn Ferry Home block. Alluring aromas of wild flowers and herbs, fresh cherry tart, Christmas spices. Bright juicy flavours, sour cherry, crunchy cranberries, a chalky fine structure gives the wine length and tension. A more elegant expression from the 2023 vintage due to the cold Autumn nights. Refreshing and long. ~ 95 POINTS ~ "Complex, soft and elegant bouquet with scents and layers of fruit and wood spices, an un-fined quality that endorses the softer dried herb and savoury complexity. Then, aromas of strawberry compote and red cherry, clay and stone with then a judicious use of French oak. Dry, savoury and complex, a wine that reflects both site and region with its savoury qualities and definitive red berry fruit flavours, along with some red tea. Fine tannins and acid line frame the fruits, carry flavour and coat the palate completely. A lovely wine with best drinking from day of purchase through 2035." — Cameron Douglas MS
