Greywacke

Fabulous bouquet with complexity and depth, purity of fruit and a sense of site, winemaking style and intrigue. Aromas and flavours of spiced blackcurrant and dark cherry, hay and dried herb, stone and barrel smoke and violet. Dry, a firm texture with polished tannins and medium+ acid line. As the wine opens out in glass the core flavours and texture show more intensity and complexity, a wine that will continue to age and develop. Best drinking from 2027 through 2037.

Cherry preserves, cocktail bitters, dusty, peppery spice and dried flowers are all at the fore on this fragrant, easy-to-like Pinot. There's a brightness and lightness to the fruit, thanks to lovely acidity. It's all wound up in well-structured, textural tannins, with a mineral through line. A tightrope of elegance, power and ageworthiness, this hasn't reached its peak yet and has perhaps a decade left in it.
