2021 Principia Pinot Noir

Matured in French oak for approximately 18 months. Slightly cloudy red to dark red colour with a light red hue. Fragrant violet, red cherry and winter strawberry aromas mix with fresh herb, forest floor and delicate spicy cedar notes. Light, elegant and savoury the palate features sour to red cherry, winter strawberry, blood orange and rhubarb flavours over forest floor, brambly cedar and infusions of fresh herbs. Polished tannins with tangy acidity lending energy to the long, delicately spiced conclusion.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 13.7%

Darrin Gaffy ferments his six pinot noir clones separately (that seems to be a lot of extra work) then blends them to make up this estate wine, which is delicious. It’s packed with flavour yet not a big wine as the vibrant acidity takes centre stage. The chorus is all spiced red cherries, charred radicchio, amaro and blood orange, so it’s mouth-watering and refreshing at the same time. Just medium bodied, tannins are silky fine and the acidity drives this to a resounding finish. Moreish to the last drop. Drink 2022 - 2031.
