2023 Fighting Gully Road Pinot Noir
This delicious Pinot Noir was made from two clones (114 and MV6) and comprises a whole bunch component, which was fermented separately using maceration carbonique. Each component was matured separately in new (40%) and seasoned Italian coopered French oak 500 litre puncheons for a period of 12 months.
Semi translucent red to dark red colour with black toned edges and a vibrant light red hue. Blossoming out of the glass with a perfumed like intensity are alluring scents of violets, red cherry, wild strawberry and fresh herbs which are complimented by hints of clove, forest floor and spicy cedar. Delicious red cherry and strawberry fruits power across the moreish palate with traces of anise, forest floor, infusions of fresh herbs and spicy cedar in the background. Fresh supple feel with polished tannins leading into a long energetic red fruited finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
