Southern Light Ghostgum Pinot Noir 2023
95 POINTS - Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot
"Another wine from this cool and damp vintage, presenting a triumph in both excellent vineyard management and sympathetic winemaking. The wine comes from three blocks with different clones and varying treatments, including whole bunch and de-stemmed. The final wine spent about 10 months in French Oak Hogsheads, with about 20% new. The aromas are spicy, truffly, with slightly sour cherry nuances. The palate has a deeper forest floor truffle complexity working neatly with those sour cherry flavours. Itās a delicate, finely balanced wine, poised and precise, presenting well as a wine to drink in the shorter term. Further cellaring will bring new dimensions. An impressive wine."
AppearanceĀ
Deep, vibrant cherry red in colour - a sign of the intense fruit concentration from such a low yielding vintage.
Aroma
It is a highly perfumed pinot noir with notes of morello cherry, thyme, blood plum, clove, and tahini, with lively whole-bunch aromas weaving their way through.
Palate
It has a fresh, bright palate where the acidity, tannin and fruit dance together. Flavours of pomegranite, fresh beetroot, and wet slate slowly unfurl as the wine opens up.
