Description

The Valli Bannockburn Vineyard Pinot Noir is an incredibly fragrant and elegant expression, sourced from the relatively cool vineyard site in Bannockburn and produced in a cool growing season, resulting in a wine with great tension and incredible layers of red fruit, spice and earth. Matured for 11 months in barrel and bottled unfined and unfiltered, the aromas are both intriguing and complex: fresh berry, wild game, gun smoke, baking spice and wild thyme. The palate is long and bright with cherry, blackcurrant, cardamom and delicious savoury undertones. Silky fine tannins compliment the vibrant acidity, giving the wine length and memory. This wine is drinking beautifully now and will continue to do so for at least a decade.[#intro]An incredibly fragrant & elegant wine from pioneering Otago winemaker Grant Taylor…[/intro]
