Allegiance Wines L’Artiste Tumbarumba Pinot Noir 2024

The fruit here hails from a single vineyard in the high altitude Tumbarumba region. It was given a three day cold soak, then a warm ferment for seven days and following that, a further six months on lees. The wine has a deep crimson hue, with a nose offering some savoury and undergrowth notes. Quite a herbal style with hints of animal skins, gamey touches, cranberries and aniseed. A supple texture with very good length, smooth tannins and a lingering finish complete the package. Enjoy over the next two to five years.
