Grape: Pinot Noir
This is a stunning Pinot Noir with many complex layers due to extended ageing in new French oak barrels. Fresh red fruits of strawberries and cranberries are combined with warming spices, clove, anise and blackberries. Drinking well now or age for a further 6 to 7 years.
Try pairing with grilled pork chops or roast duck with sour cherry sauce.
