A blend of clones from the organic Hope and Morison Vineyards, lightly oaked for emphasis on vibrant, red-fruited elegance.
Winemaking is very similar to that of the Hope Vineyard Pinot though there is less time on skins for some batches with a view to preserving fruit focus and moderating extraction of tannins. Similarly the level of both new and one year old oak is carefully managed so that it plays a subtle, supportive role.
Attractively aromatic with summer berry fruits, citrusy, floral notes and a lightly spiced, herbal fragrance. Suggestive of the outdoors, earth, mushroom notes evolve as the wine opens in the glass. The palate is vibrant and brightly red-fruited with a light spicy savouriness and supple structure of well-bound tannins. There is a depth in the exotic guava and quince which have a secondary, preserve-like richness. A refreshing plum-skin tanginess and chalky, minerality balances these ripper flavours.
