Mount Fishtail Nelson Pinot Noir 2021 (Export Wine)

Description

Oak, Plum, Spice

"Combining sweet fruit notes of plums and cherries with warm spicy nuances, it’s delightfully complex and inviting. The palate delivers juicy fruit intensity and plump mouthfeel, beautifully supported by fine texture and well-integrated tannins, making it harmonious and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2022

A rich and ripe Pinot Noir displaying dark cherry, berry fruit and savoury characters. A generous concentrated palate exhibits well integrated fine tannins, and delivers a wonderful persistence of flavour.

The Pinot Noir grapes were harvested and fermented in small batch quantities; and hand plunged daily. The wine was left on the skins for 21 days post ferment and then drained to older French barriques for 8 months of barrel ageing before release.

Food Pairing: Wide range of cuisine from delicately flavoured cheeses to venison on the barbecue. Our recommendation though is a classic rack of lamb cooked with fresh rosemary.
