Cult winemaker Kelly Mason is back with a new vintage of the wine that made her famous; her magical estate-grown Pinot Noir.
From Kelly:
Gem-like and medium ruby in colour with a bit of telltale Pinot bricking along the rim. The nose is powerful and pronounced, but still feels quite closed, as though it is not ready to give up all its secrets quite yet. Aromas of brambly red fruit, forest floor, sour cherry, violets and beetroot with a gamey and iron undertone.
On the palate, brisk acidity leads the way into a wine of medium-body with a plush core of ripe black cherry fruit, vanilla and dried autumn leaves framed by a firm, but polished tannic structure. Great mineral energy and excellent length.
Elegant, expressive and impeccably balanced. Plenty of potential for mid-term aging. This wine hits all of the notes one hopes for in great Pinot Noir: sweet fruit, perfumed florality, savoury earthiness and bracing minerality all wrapped up in an elegant and graceful package. This wine is at once elegant yet powerful. Serious but not severe. An absolute joy to drink.
