Spicy dark and red fruits on the bouquet; concentrated flavour with lovely intensity and drive. Balsamic herbs and violets. Real richness, fleshy density, compact, with terrific focus, line and length.
Both parcels were cold soaked for five days at 8 °C before being fermented using indigenous yeast. Each parcel was gently managed during ferment with a combination of plunging and pumpovers. After a natural malolactic fermentation and nine months' maturation in new (18%) and old French oak barriques the wine was blended, filtered and bottled.
Another Tractor Pinot that is chock-full of persuasively charming fruit and laced with walled-garden loveliness. Lilting freshness and lithe lift. Raspberries, lime blossom, cherry blossom, bay leaf. Transparent tannins play hide and seek, sweet and musical. A melody in a glass.
