William Downie Bull Swamp Pinot Noir 2024

"This dry grown vineyard was planted in 1981 on old, red volcanic soils at 150m elevation. There are four separate parcels of Pinot Noir, two north facing blocks of MV6 and another of Abel, as well as a more sheltered south facing block of MV6. The wine smells of ripe dark fruits including blueberry, blackberry and blackcurrant as well poached autumnal fruits - quince, medlar and pear. The palate is rich and weighty with rose hip, mace and black pepper. It is full and plush with fine tannin and terracotta like baked red earth." Winemaker's Notes
