Single Site Estate Pipers River Pinot Noir 2022

Home is where the heart is and home for us is at Pipers River. Here, the sloping terrain is caressed by the cooling sea breeze, giving fruit the chance to ripen at a leisurely pace over a long growing season. The result is waves of sour cherry flavours dusted with Asian five spice and subtle savoury undercurrent. Complex, elegant, subtle, delicious.

The Details

Tasting Note Initial aromas of ripe cherries, black tea and Asian five spice lift from the glass. Over time hints of seaspray, cinnamon and cranberries build into the opulent bouquet. The palate is classical and well defined. Fine, natural acidity and a layer of sweet summer fruit add balance and texture before a long finish with lingering notes of black cherry and cinnamon spice.
Best Enjoyed With Roasted duck with cherry sauce reduction served on a bed of winter vegetables and potato puree. Wholegrain lasagne with aubergine, heirloom tomatoes, courgettes and capsicums.
Treatment The fruit was hand-picked and placed into two fermenters with 30% whole bunches included in the ferment, the balance being destemmed.Fermentation started naturally after three days and was complete after a further five days, with two gentle hand plunges during active fermentation to gently extract tannins. The wine was drained, pressed and settled prior to being placed in French oak barriques (35% new). The wine underwent malolactic fermentation during its 10 months in barrel.

Accolades

Lifted and red-fruited
Single-vineyard pinot noir from Dalrymple's home turf in Pipers River. The most lifted and red-fruited of the single-site releases. Bright red cherry, red plum and blood orange fruit tones with underlying hints of Chinese five-spice, dried cranberries, rose petals, biltong, cinnamon and earth. Calm and savoury with some sea spray nuance to the minerally acid pulse, lovely airy red fruits, chalky tannins and a fine, elegant presence.
