Tasting Notes:

Light red colour with some depth and garnet hues on the rim.

The nose is soft, full and wellpacked with aromatic and fragrant aromas of red berry fruits entwined with dark herb and red floral notes, unfolding a little savoury earthiness with aeration.

Medium-bodied, the palate is brisk and racy with lively fruit flavours of savoury red berry fruits melded with fresh, dark herbs with some red floral detail.

The fruit forms a moderately deep and dense core, with supple tannins in support. The wine flows with good energy to a lingering, savoury red-fruited finish with herbal nuances.

This is a brisk and racy Pinot Noir with moderately concentrated savoury red berry fruit, herband earthy detail with supple textures.

Vinification:
