Bouquet
Fragrant aromatics of red cherry, raspberry and Indian spice.

Palate
Starting with blackberry and strawberry the juicy palate then gives way to a touch of spice and savoury undergrowth. The balanced acidity and powdery tannins provide a long and supple finish.

Growing Conditions
For the second year in a row the Piccadilly Valley growing season resulted in reduced yields. The long, cool and wet winter pushed into December affecting flowering and a cooler than average start to the year meant the small bunches and berries needed well into March/April to reach maturity.
94/100 Points

“There’s an inherent vibrancy and energy to this wine, with bright fruit, lithe spice elements, toasty notes gently sewn through and a core of crushed rock minerality that weaves evenly and with interest through it all. Succulent texture, a gentle nature despite the vitality, transparency and purity as by-lines. Delicious drinking ensues, and for those seeking understated and elegant rendering of the variety, look no further. Should mature gracefully in the medium term too."

“The 2023 Piccadilly Valley Pinot Noir was sourced from a selection of vineyards within the valley: Bowhouse, Woods Hill, Whisson, Deanery and Grigg. In the glass, the wine is a pale ruby and, aromatically, leads with strawberry, red apple, clove and potpourri. On the palate, the wine is tight and a little tart, with chinotto and blood orange, cherry and star anise. The 10% whole bunches emphasize the spiciness of the wine. It gets better as you drink more of it—an admirable quality in any wine—and the red fruit really starts to settle into the structure."
