Urlar 'The Mediator' Single Vineyard Gladstone Pinot Noir 2018

Description

• French oak
• Red berries
• Dried herbs
• Fine tannins

The classic 2018 vintage delivers an elegant wine of dark red berry fruits, dried herbs and spicy savoury notes. There are complex layers of spice, earthy cedar and forest floor. Elegantly concentrated with fine tannins and a silky texture.

The grapes were harvested by parcel (clone) on flavours and skin ripeness. Each clone was fermented separately in a mixture of traditional oak cuves and stainless-steel vats after undergoing a period of cold soak to enhance colour extraction. Their winemaking style encourages fruit complexity, texture and balance. The wine was matured in 25% new French oak.

Proudly, family owned. Their vision is to produce outstanding single vineyard wines that reflect their origins. Urlar; Gaelic for the earth, is at the heart of their farming system. Their desire is to bring an abundance of life back to these ancient soils, so you can discover the purity of flavour that is inherent in the land.

Food Pairing: Beautifully suited to a rack of lamb or game dishes such as venison or duck.
