2017 Santolin Gladysdale Pinot Noir

Includes 15% whole bunch fruit with aging taking place in French oak (30% new) on lees for 10 months. Semi translucent dark red colour with black tinged edges and a light red hue. Aromas of spicy dark cherries and strawberries are overlaid by dried herbs and smoky cedar with some forest floor notes also present. The palate is supple and deeply fruited with dark cherry and strawberry flavours sitting over some game, forest floor and spicy dried herb characters. Velvet smooth tannins and good balanced acidity with a long savoury conclusion.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 13.5%
