Quartz Reef Single Vineyard Bendigo Pinot Noir 2023

Description

Cherry, Oak, Toffee

"Certified Demeter Biodynamic and sourced from Quartz Reef's Bendigo estate, this Pinot Noir combines vibrant red cherry and raspberry fruit with exotic spice, floral lift and a distinctive mineral thread. A finely structured and age-worthy Central Otago Pinot Noir with exceptional detail and balance" Halliday Wine Companion

"An excellent bouquet of variety, site, complexity and intrigue. Aromas and flavours of ripe red berry fruits, spice and dried herb, a savoury complexity, fresh dried cherry, red plum and bracken. An abundance of polished tannins and backbone of acidity frame the fruit and savoury qualities. The QR wines always show a seam of soil mineral or site flavours, this wine reflects that idea also. Well made, youthful and lengthy with best drinking from late 2026 through 2033+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

Ripe red berry fruits, spice, dried herbs, fresh dried cherry, red plum, and bracken. Notes of violet, black tea, blackberry, and dark chocolate. Polished tannins and a backbone of acidity to frame the fruit alongside mineral and savoury qualities showcasing depth. Fine, silky tannins. Immediately enjoyable with long-term cellaring potential.
