2019 Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir
2019 Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir
($23.80 Wine Club price)
Sourced from old vine Pinot Noir grown high in the Adelaide Hills on the former Seppelt Pertalunga vineyard. The vineyard was planted in 1980 to a variety of grapes, but it is Pinot Noir that we sought out. The connection with Andrew was too strong to ignore.
Handpicked fruit was fermented in a small open top fermenter before being aged in a mix of new and used French oak hogsheads. Bottled in late December 2019 to retain the fresh cherry characters that are a signature of this vineyard and its MV6 and Pommard Clones. Highly structured, a wine that will benefit from a good stint in the cellar.
This wine is bright, with lifted florals, red fruits, cherry, medium bodied with a backbone of fine tannins. A wine that is drinking well on release but will benefit from some time in the cellar.

2020 Wine Companion (James Halliday)
91 Points - Matured in new and used French oak for 6 months. Attractive wine. Fragrant bouquet, with spiced red berries, Oak is more obvious on the palate, but doesn't obscure the fruit. Tempting price.
