Pinot Noir 2022
This wine takes you to a pine forest with its intoxicating aromas of fir tree, undergrowth and wild bramble. With elegant spice and an earthy lift, this is a magical, twinkling, wood nymph of a Pinot Noir. The wine has seen a few years ageing in bottle, and has just begun to show its ethereal side.
