Pinot Noir

German Pinot, fun, fruity , tastes like Pinot ! for not much money ! Pale cherry red colour. There’s an attractive herby, savoury, minerally character to the nose which shows some lightly aromatic red cherry fruit.

Deep violet red with ruby rim, aromas of black cherry, vanilla and spice from barrel ageing. Medium bodied and delicate, it has a balanced acidity, showing smooth, round tannins that provide elegance.

Proof that German Pinot is a serious contender (actually now the 3rd biggest grower of Pinot Noir in the world ). Beautiful display of classic ruby colours, cherry and raspberry like flavours and aromas. A hint of oak from the barrique barrel ageing, well balanced, soft acidity and ripe finish. Well worth investigating.

A nose of redcurrant, raspberry and a hint of strawberry, with a nice smokiness. On the palate, the red fruits come through again.  An unoaked Pinot, the tannins are not too harsh or overwhelming and there is a fresh acidity, with a short but pleasantly fruity finish. Benefits from decanting as it is still a little closed.

Selected Pinot Noir grapes planted on a terroir of clayey gravel in Preuilly, and on Kimmeridgian clay and limestone in Coignons, gives fresh, fleshy, round and balanced wines. Cherries & raspberries on a bouquet of spices and cocoa confirm this beautiful aromatic palette.

The Heirloom Vineyards Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir was produced from a single site in the Adelaide Hills. This quartz-laden site is free draining and the vines face north. Heirloom use their own Pinot Noir clones and handtend their vines meticulously, carefully balancing cutting edge techniques with old-school viticulture and winemaking.

This Italian clone of Pinot Noir is light red in colour

Purity, vibrancy and harmonious balance result from the careful selection and blending of specific clones grown on clay soils in the cool Elgin Valley. A broad, seductive compote of concentrated black cherries, cranberries and savoury forest floor aspects is supported by dry oak tannins.
