The Stoney Rise Pinot Noir is a 60/40 blend of estate grown fruit and fruit purchased from small growers around the Tamar Valley. The 60% from the estate vineyard comprises just over half of the fruit from vines planted in 2004. The remainder comes from older vines planted in 1986 - which is the component of the blend that gives this wine it's structure and backbone.
It is a very fragrant wine, with red cherries and red currants the dominant characters with hints of roses. The palate is fresh and succulent with some Campari like crunchiness.
