Swan Terrace, Pinot Noir

Notes

Floral and finely etched bittersweet fruit, rosehip, autumn raspberry and wild herbs, complex and sophisticated aromas that have shades of Vosne about them, albeit with a savory, floral top note that is all about this tiny section of the Alpine vineyard. Fermented with 100% whole clusters it possesses great tension and grip, the tannins finer but also more present than the Horseshoe. Saline and mineral, with fabulous inner energy driving it along, chiselled minerality and notes of blood orange zest on the finish. Supremely refined and transparent this is less showy than Horseshoe, but no less intense or impressive. A bottle watched over several hours was constantly in motion…

Notes

The 2017 Pinot Noir Swan Terrace is one of the most intriguing wines in this range. Intensely aromatic overtones, with touches of blood orange and racy red berry fruit infuse the 2017 with an exotic quality that is hard to fully describe with words. The 100% whole clusters work so well in bringing out the wine’s myriad layers. A few years in bottle will help the tannins soften. This is such a beguiling, alluring wine.
