2017 Derwent Estate Pinot Noir

Includes 15% whole bunch fruit with maturation taking place in French oak, 25% of which was new. Deep dark red core with black tinged edges and a light red hue. Rising out of the glass is a scented profile of violets, spicy dark cherries, dried clove, forest floor, smoked meats and light cedar. The elegant palate carries flavours of dark cherries and winter strawberries infused with dried clove over some earthy meatiness and spicy cedar. Fine grained tannins with good natural acidity and a medium powered finish.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 13.8%
