Another fantastic Pinot Noir from Tod Dexter. The 2023 wines are of superb quality & intensity. The fine grain tannins and well defined structure carry the fruit sweetness well with great length.

Aromas of dark cherry, violets and rose petal. The floral notes in this vintage are particularly lifted and vibrant.

The low crop weights and small bunches have resulted in intensely concentrated fruit flavours and fine velvet tannins. The cherry, strawberries and black berry flavours dominate with more subtle savoury tones and exotic fruits coming through on the back palate. The fine grain tannins and well defined structure carry the fruit sweetness well with great length.
A wetter than average spring during flowering resulted in a slightly lower average yield. The La Nina weather continued over summer gave rise to slower ripening period than usual. This resulted in a harvest of grapes retaining high level of acidity with good concentration of flavour. The quality & flavour of the grapes remained excellent.
Moderate temperatures throughout a wet spring and into flowering resulted in healthy canopies with lower than average yields. December to February rainfall was about 75% of the average. Cool temperatures during late summer produced slower ripening than usual and the grapes retained high levels of natural acidity along with great concentration of flavour. Although the weather reduced crop loads, quality and flavour remained strong.
