Intense red and black cherries, mixed spice and rich earthy complexities. Luscious black and red cherries mingle with 5 spice and fresh herbs. A beautifully weighted palate with gently smothering tannins and fine acidity enhancing its length. Such a gluggable yet complex natural wine that will undoubtedly treat you kindly.

94 pts - Patrick Eckel (Wine Reviewer)
A youthful red to purple in terms of colour, the nose has black cherry and plum fruit with some violets and graphite in the fold. The palate is medium bodied with a continuation of black cherry, tannins take on a black tea like character with just enough fruit derived spice to give a veneer of richness on the mid palate. There is great balance to finish with fruit, acid and oak all meshing well. An incredibly young wine in the context of how well this should age. Hold a year or two before opening your first!

Organic, wild ferment, sulphur-free and vegan-friendly wine. Very appealing pinot noir with bright, high-energy and pure cherry, floral and fresh herb flavours without being obviously green. A tantalisingly accessible and deliciously drinkable wine with refreshing acidity. This is the best natural wine I've yet tasted. Can be enjoyed slightly chilled.

This is the first vintage of a new wine label. Appealing pinot noir with bright, high energy and pure cherry, floral and fresh herb flavours without being obviously green. Tantalisingly accessible and deliciously drinkable wine with refreshing acidity.
$60 - Max Allen
Dougall gained a lot of experience making relatively large volumes of pinot noir with nothing added – no yeast, no preservatives – when he was winemaker at Seresin, and it clearly shows in this excellent wine. Quite deeply coloured for a Marlborough pinot, it has dark, seductive aromas of plum and black cherry, and dense, savoury, even earthy, flavours in the mouth, finishing snappy and dry. Very good.
