Lovely, bright fruit with black cherries, strawberries and orange peel as well as hints of peaches. Medium-bodied, this has firm tannins that are caressing and delicious. Fluid and attractive at the end. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
The 2023 Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Noir is fresh, juicy and texturally detailed, with chalky, supple tannins that fill the mouth and saline acidity that courses through the layers of floral, red-berry fruit. There is real drive and elegance here. It's a superb wine, as all of these Valli Pinots tend to be. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink: 2024-2034
Displaying really pristine aromas of red cherry and pomegranate fruit with only the faintest hint of dark plum. There is a some rose petal and dried thyme too. Bright and precise, the tannins are beautifully managed, layering across the palate but not dominating. A concentrated, intense pinot that manages to retain a lovely floral lift. A long savoury finish. Alcohol 13.00%. Drink from 2026-2034.
