Description
MPipeclay Terrace Pinot Noir is hand-crafted in very limited quantities and only released in outstanding vintages. The 2018 vintage on the nose has lovely bright lifted violet florals sitting over the top of blackberry and black cherry notes. Supple dense black berry fruits introduce the wine and then flow with lovely precision through the mid palate. Lithe fine slightly earthy structure elevates above this fruit only for the fruit to re-emerge with violet florals alongside to drive the wine. Floral, perfumed, linear.t. Difficulty Pipeclay Terrace pinot noir.

vineyard is made up of coarse, drought-prone Bannockburn soils and impervious, heavyclay Scotland Point soils. The fruit that contributed to this Pinot Noir comes from vines
planted in 1996.
