Bouquet
Intense cherry, dark plum and strawberry coulis with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon spice.

Palate
Initially a burst of cherry compote and strawberry, the darker and denser palate is framed with fresh acidity and light dusty tannins. The palate is layered with notes of beetroot and forest floor providing a lovely depth and complexity to the wine.

Growing Conditions
Piccadilly Valley was impacted by cool weather during flowering, resulting in reduced volumes for the 2024 vintage. A wetter than average December and January made way for a warm and dry February with excellent conditions for ripening. Consecutive hot days in the second week of March accelerated things and harvest was completed by March 18.

“A highly perfumed, snappy, sappy, bright and red-fruited pinot noir of satiny texture and general sense of freshness and a kind of glassy transparency. Bright, sweet-leaning red of cherry juice with pomegranate crunch shot through, some light kirsch notes, raspberry licorice and dashes of red capsicum, hazelnut and mushroom tea. Very fruit forward, tightened with tangy, orangey acidity, a faint sheath of tannin nicely there. A wine that suggests vigorous youth is its best friend, over general cellaring. Good."
