2021 Sidewood Pinot Noir

A mix of whole berry and whole bunch in terms of fermentation and time in new and old French Oak. The aromatics give autumnal red berry fruits with understated savoury spice. This is a wine that defies its price point, there are layers of interest that start with the spiced and earthen influence of whole bunch and moves to the sweeter aromatic and pure expression of red cherry that comes from whole berry. Acidity shows itself in the form of cranberry like drive, oak gives brown spice. The wine finishes with an enjoyable richness of red cherry and very good length.
