Rockface Waipara Pinot Noir 2017

Description

Black cherry and plum, toffee, spicy oak and hints of the forest floor. Red fruit and spice on the palate with fine, silky tannin and balanced acidity.

The Rockface brand is an exciting range of wines made by winemaker Peter Saunders on the outskirts of the sleepy village of Waipara. The fruit for Rockface comes from the home block and a terraced vineyard 10 minutes down the road.  Winemaking is a family affair with Peter’s parents living close by on yet another block of grapes which are nestled on a lower terrace, protected from the Southerly wind and overlooking the braided river to the north. Rockface wines represent stylish and affordable wines which speak strongly to their origins in the soils of the Waipara Valley
