Only the very best grapes from vineyards in the well renowned Bannockburn area are selected to produce this ‘Earth and Sky’ Pinot Noir 2021. This wine is a blend of two Bannockburn vineyards ranging from 12 to 21 years old. Both sites border the Bannockburn Sluicings, a distinctive geographic landmark that is steeped in mining history. The grapes from these vineyards were fermented separately with a range of 0-25% whole clusters with the resulting blend having around 18% whole clusters which aids the tannin structure and aromatics of the wine. The total time on skins ranges from 21-28 days. The wine was aged for approximately 12 months in fine grain French oak barriques with 24% new and the rest ranging from 2-5 years old.

A bunchy style with notes of lemon verbena and green peppercorn. Fresh and layered. I adore the fragrance and the energy of this wine.

Attractive strawberry red cherry, vanilla aromas with herb anise notes. Fresh supple and slinky textured with attractive red berry fruits and integrated vanilla oak. Sappy notes pervade across the palate.

Opens with tart red cherries, and savoury herbal overtones. Fresh, mid-weight and lively. Excellent percussion and intensity. Good freshness carrying through to the finish.
