Tasting Note
Perfumed red-fruited Pinot: sweet raspberries, Morello cherry and cranberry with subtle spice, leaf-litter and savoury undernotes. Bright natural acidity, supple ripe tannins and a long, poised finish.

Food Pairing
Roast duck, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, seared scallops with miso, Peking duck or char siu, teriyaki salmon, roasted shiitake noodles, mild blue and soft cheeses.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Tasmanian parcels; gentle crushing with a whole-bunch component, cool ferment, maturation in quality French oak barriques with restrained, minimal-intervention winemaking.
