2017 Bream Creek Pinot Noir

Semi translucent dark red colour with traces of black to the edges and a light red hue. Perfumed scents of violets and anise blossom from the glass followed by ripe cherries, strawberries, forest floor and spicy herb notes. Abound with rich fruit the palate possesses a beautiful supplely textured feel with delicious ripe dark cherry, strawberry and anise flavours gliding over an undercurrent of forest floor, spicy cedar and fresh herb infusions. Silky smooth tannins combine with a lick of fresh acidity. Excellent power with a long savoury dark fruited aftertaste.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Hand-picked, open-fermented with 85% whole berries and 15% whole bunches, 20 days on skins, matured for 10 months in French oak (20% new). Good depth of colour; mouthfilling waves of black cherry and satsuma plum follow precisely in the tracks of the bouquet. It has exceptional finesse, line, length and balance. Trophies Best Tasmanian Red Wine and Best Tasmanian Wine Hobart Wine Show '18, plus significant gold medals in other shows. Drink by 2032.
