Winery/Brand: Richmond Plains

 

From selected vines grown in the best of the Richmond Plains stony soils and matured in new French oak barriques this wine is full and round and exhibits classic Pinot fruit flavours with a delightfully smooth, smoky, earthy, savoury finish. Lovely depth of flavour in this lush black cherry and strawberry jam wine. A great dinner party choice. Screwcap closure from the 2003 vintage onwards.

 

 

The Story

Winestate magazine:"Deliciously ripe pinot, very fragrant showing floral aromatics. Youthful and promising some richness and complexity to emerge over the next 12 months and offering fine drinking for a couple of years after that." 8 Jan 2005

Soil Association's Organic Red Wine of the Year in 2003 (narrowly missing the overall Wine of the Year award).
