Colour: Dark ruby red
Aroma: Deep red cherry and raspberry fruits complexed with French oak spice and mocha notes.
Palate: Ripe red fruit characters give sweetness through-out the palate. Fruit and oak tannin combine to give complexity, length, structure and richness.
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir sourced from our estate vineyard at Relbia in northern Tasmania.
Winemaking: Hand picked Pinot Noir is gently destemmed with minimum berry breakage and placed in small batch open top fermenters with regular plunging to immerse the skins and extract colour and tannin as gently as possible. After pressing the wine un-dergoes malolactic fermentation in French oak Barriques and is matured in oak for 12 months prior to bottling.
Whilst very approachable now, the richness of fruit and fine tannins will reward you, after careful cel-laring with a complex, spicy wine.
