Pinot Noir 2021 / 2022

2021
Smoke and spice on the nose initially, very complex and intriguing. There is black cherry, blackberry along with notes of warm iron and earth. Some classic Bannockburn aromatics here.The palate is tight and coiled at this stage, hinting at the concentration and depth of this low yielding vintage. There are red and black cherry along with a line of dried herbs (sage, thyme) from the whole bunch fermentation inclusion. The tannins are firm but fine, framing the fruit on the palate beautifully. This gives a lovely long finish, with tamarillo and cranberry notes.

2022
Dark garnet with ruby rim. Violets,bergamot and floral thyme notes on the nose, along with rich black cherry fruit.
The palate is soft and silky, even at an early stage, a hallmark of this vintage which gave us larger berries. Fine, supple and flowing across the mid palate with cherry plum and a hint of brown spices like cardamom and anise. Dangerously easy to drink now or will cellar nicely for 10 years.

Pinot Gris 2022

Lovely aromatics jump from the glass – jasmine and lemon balm florals. Crunchy green pear and white peach, along with a touch of Meyer lemon. This warm vintage has a bright and crunchy expression of Pinot Gris on the nose. The palate has a lovely finesse, a touch of phenolic grip as a hallmark of the site, and some stoney minerality as well, which provides tension and drive. While enjoyable now as a bright and refreshing style of Pinot Gris, it will benefit from another 12 months in a bottle, and hold for 5 years.
