Michele's notes: Beautiful ruby/garnet hues. Red cherry notes mingle with cinnamon spice, beetroot and umami elements. Surprisingly bold in the mouth, given the medium density hues, and incredibly persistent. Briary and foresty notes mingle with the delicious fruit. Lithe, tasty and quite divine.
Spring Vale 2021 Estate Pinot Noir: Michele's notes: Glittering ruby/crimson hues. Raspberry, satsuma plum, roasted hazelnuts and meaty notes, with exotic musky notes. Beautifully sweet fruit floods the palate, leaving a delicious impression. The silky texture serves to highlight the clarity of the fruit flavours.
