Single Site Estate Pipers River Pinot Noir 2024

Home is where the heart is and home for us is at Pipers River. Here, the sloping terrain is caressed by the cooling sea breeze, giving fruit the chance to ripen at a leisurely pace over a long growing season. The result is waves of sour cherry flavours dusted with Asian five spice and subtle savoury undercurrent. Complex, elegant, subtle, delicious.

The Details

Tasting Note The warmer vintage is noticeable with a shift towards riper cherry, cranberry and hints of plum, while still retaining the hallmark Asian spice to add complexity, along with vanillin softness. There is a density to the aromas that takes time to fully unwind in its youth, it is worth opening 1-2 hours earlier to allow these to develop. A soft entry to the palate with ripe cherry flesh texture, balanced with fine natural acidity and silky tannins gives focus before the long fruit flavour finish. Once open, savoury notes will develop to further enhance the complexity.
Best Enjoyed With Roasted pork loin with red cherry reduction served with celeriac puree and Asian greens; or spiced jackfruit, rice and bean filled baked peppers with roasted vegetables.
Treatment The fruit was hand-picked and placed into fermenters with 10% whole bunches included in the ferment, the balance being destemmed.Fermentation was complete after 5 days, with two to three gentle hand plunges during active fermentation to gently extract tannins. The wine was drained, pressed and settled prior to being placed in French oak barriques (30% new). The wine underwent malolactic fermentation during its 10 months in barrel.
