Pinot Noir - 2006
Central Otago, New Zealand
Winemakers Tasting Note This wine is a lovely example of pure Bendigo Pinot Noir, combining ripe dark fruits with a distinct dusty minerality. Wrapped in a blanket of rich leathery tannin, superb volume and balance between tannin and acid is displayed. The perfumed nose offers spiced plums with elements of loganberries and strawberries donating fruit vibrancy on the palate, complimenting an undercurrent of earthiness. Harmony, within the wine’s texture profile has been achieved.
