2022 'Chorus' Pinot Noir et al.
Inspired by viewing the vineyard as a whole and letting the varieties come together and sing… much like that hook in a song that keeps you coming back!
A red wine built on texture and freshness that is modelled on finding a really pleasurable experience of place regardless of the variety.
Made with all three varietals grown in the vineyard; Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. Each variety has an influence, but works in harmony with the others.
Tasting Note:
“Smelling of spring in the garden with roses and violets, so it makes this rather enticing. The palate is leanish, considering pinot is joined by chardonnay and syrah, although it’s still a terrific drink offering spiced red cherries and plums, plenty of tangy, juicy acidity and just the right amount of tannins to add shape.” Halliday Wine Companion 2025 – Jane Faulkner 92 points
