Description A delicious, midweight Pinot Noir that will be perfect for Christmas and food matching with turkey and all the trimmings, goose or many a good meal! From the well-regarded region of Adelaide Hills in south Australia. TASTING NOTE: On the nose there are aromas of cherries, strawberries and baking spices. On the palate, it is midweight, supple, smooth and fresh, with red and black fruits and the typically delicious, earthy notes of Pinot Noir that round out the palate. The tannins are supple and create a long, lush finish. 13.5% alcohol. FOOD PAIRING, SERVICE AND STORING: Pair this Pinot Noir with turkey, grilled salmon, roasted pork or lamb. Drinks well now or can be enjoyed over the next three or four years. ABOUT: Zar and Elena Brooks, of Dandelion Vineyards (see our delicious Shiraz and Riesling for more of their wines), founded Heirloom Vineyards in order to make wines from a selection of their very best grapes. This wine is from hand-tended vines, grapes that were sorted bunch-by-bunch at harvest-time, and the resulting wine that was naturally open fermented with 50% whole bunch grapes, to give a lovely complex aroma and lift. It was then basket-pressed and aged in well seasoned first-use French oak barriques from bespoke coopers for 7 months.
