Prophet's Rock Home Vineyard Central Otago Pinot Noir 2017

Description

• Lightly oaked
• Black & red berries
• Dried herbs
• Silky tannins

Showcasing black and red berry fruits, with a hint of French Oak, dark chocolate and exotic thyme and dried herbs. Juicy, full-bodied and rich, with striking energy and power, whilst retaining silky smooth tannins. Long and lavish in the mouth with a savoury note into the finish.

Sourced from the winemakers ‘Home Vineyard’ on a steep, elevated terrace in the Bendigo sub-region. Here, altitude, climate, fascinating soils and meticulous viticulture combine to produce Pinot Noir with stature and concentration. Pinot Noir is the largest part of their production and a complete no-compromise obsession.

The foundation of this wine is the focus on delivering low-yielding concentrated fruit that expresses our vineyard. In the winery, the winemakers employ traditional old world techniques; the grapes are handled gently and the wines are fermented using only the indigenous yeast from the vineyard.

The wines are aged in barrel for 15-18 months before being bottled unfiltered, and are cellared before release.
