Description
Mount Mary Pinot noir has never been particularly dark in colour, nor is it something we strive to excessively extract during fermentation. It is a component of the vintage conditions and we believe should not be adversely manipulated beyond that. Despite the cool vintage, there is an appealing crimson red, ruby hue to this wine. The nose is so vividly ‘Mount Mary Pinot’ with dominant aromas of stewed strawberry, plum and quince paste with some slightly sweeter, spicy notes attributed by the new oak portion. The cool conditions of the 2020 vintage have delivered such fruit purity, both on the nose and on the palate. The palate carries on with aromatic primary fruit descriptors as we are made to wait patiently for some secondary complexity to build in-bottle over time. There are ultra-fine tannins running through the core of this wine, contributing savoury characters and length and longevity to the wine.
