This wine showcases the outstanding 2015 growing season for Pinot Noir.
Red and dark berries intertwine with maraschino cherries and the more savoury tones of Mediterranean herbs. The tannins are soft and integrated, an Iron fist in a silk glove.

"This is starting to show some age now, and in a very good way, with ripe strawberries, flowers and cedar. Medium body and medium, round tannins. Juicy finish. Drink now."

Vintage notes
Climate
Cooler conditions during spring preceded a warm and dry summer/autumn. This resulted in low yields and small berries with a lot of concentration.
Harvest and winemaking
All of our grapes are handpicked over a 3 week period. Then the wines had between 14 to 19 days on skins with an average of 20% whole bunch. Most of the wines are fermented with indigenous yeast from the vineyard.
