Reserve 'Earth and Sky' Pinot Noir 2022 750ml
A lifted and savoury nose with ripe cherry, mulberry, lilac, sandalwood, rosemary and a hint of mushroom. This is a fragrant and silky expression of the Bannockburn sub-region with lovely bramble fruit, florals and a touch of umami, with chalky, fine tannins that are intricately woven around the apt acidity. This Pinot Noir has an ethereal nature, expressing intensity and poise from great sites in a stellar sub-region. It is notably fresh and bright at release and it will certainly reward those who choose to cellar it with a wonderful journey of development for at least 10+years.

Only the very best grapes from vineyards in the well renowned Bannockburn area are selected to produce this ‘Earth and Sky’ Pinot Noir 2022. This wine is a blend of three Bannockburn vineyards ranging from 12 to 24 years old. One site is situated at the end of Felton Road. The second site borders the Bannockburn Sluicings, a distinctive geographic landmark that is steeped in mining history, and the third is on the Cairnmuir side with sandier soils. The grapes from these vineyards were fermented separately with a range of 0-33% whole clusters with the resulting blend having around 20% 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 11 months in fine grain French oak barriques with 25% new and the rest ranging from 2-5 years old.
This wine is vegan.
