Greenstone Estate Series Pinot Noir 2021 750ml

From 1983 plantings, a complete and multi-layered Pinot, with whole bunch components and careful oak selections. Vibrant in its youth, with deep maroon and purples shining through. A fine example of Pinot Noir showing black cherry, earthy truffle and all-spice. The ripeness of this Pinot shows a slightly herbal edge while having a lovely sweetness of ripe cherry and plums. 2019 sees a focused and firmer tannic structure giving this release significant length and dimensions of interest. Spice, coffee and an appealing charry character round out this complex wine.

“Sappy, spice, tamarillo tang over baked plum and cherry fruit. Something of a tangy yet autumnal feel, some grip from dusty tannin, rhubarb and spice, some orange peel and red fruits on a finish of solid length. Tangy style with some rugged appeal.” 90 points, Gary Walsh, Winefront
