2024 Pinot Noir 'Plump' - 93pts (Halliday Wine Companion)
Overview: Fruit driven, bright and refreshing
REVIEW - 92 PTS (The Wine Front)
“Feels fine and minerally, somewhat tight, not quite, just this minerally feel to the wine with the detail of red cherry, cranberry, pomegranate juice and some blood orange tang too. It feels so frisky, lively and bright, kind of thirst quenching in its style with a web of fine, lacy tannins tightening beautifully. Energetic pinot noir with coolness and calm, a good dose of green herbs and spice. Plump? No. There’s a a green thread through the wine. It feels good to drink, is the message.” (Mike Bennie - The Wine Front)
