2017 Scotchmans Hill Pinot Noir

Established in 1982 Scotchmans Hill are one of Bellarine Peninsula’s top estates. The fruit for this excellent Pinot Noir was de-stemmed to small fermenters with the inclusion of 15% whole bunches. Maturation took place in new to 4 year old French barriques for 12 months.

A ripe, seductive Pinot Noir.

Deep dark red colour with black tinged edges and a light red hue. Very fragrant almost perfumed like scents of violets, dark cherries and spicy anise blossom out of the glass with earthy forest floor, lightly toasted cedar and faint clove also evident. Rich and powerful, the delicious palate is decorated with ripe dark cherry, plum and strawberry flavours which are interwoven with anise, smoky cedar, forest floor and spice. Generous supple mouthfeel with velvety tannins, well integrated acidity and a long finish.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 13.5%
