Medium ruby.
Aromas of raspberry & maraschino cherry combine with cedar & clove spice.
Geraldine McFaul at Willow Creek vineyard
A lively palate of red & black fruits showing plum & cherry spice. The mid palate displays hints of cedar & toasty oak, rounding out with elegant persistence.
Some challenging weather conditions around flowering reduced the fruit set and resulting yields. Although temperatures across the ripening period were slightly higher than average the day time temperatures were cooler. This allowed for an extended ripening period and together with low yields gives the wine great minerality drive and finesse while maintaining the acidity.
The 2023 vintage was one of very low yields, cool weather and resultant intensely flavoured and structured wines. The Pinot Noir was destemmed and commenced fermentation naturally after four days’ cool maceration. A further two weeks was spent on skins prior to pressing to barrel for malolactic fermentation and maturation. Racked and bottled in late January 2024.
