Tasting
The 2013 Pinot was hand picked, with the ferment including both whole berry and whole bunches. Post ferment the wine was racked to French oak, of which approximately 25% were new. The wine spent 10 months in barrel prior to bottling.

A medium red hue in the glass, the nose gives spicy red cherry and jubey raspberry strap characters, there is a similar bright primary fruit influence of cherry and raspberry on the palate, drying tannins and charred oak provide a bracing contrast at this point in the wines development, expect this wine to integrate further in years to come.
