Ampersand Estates Pemberton Pinot Noir 2024

Share

An all-round super bright Pinot Noir from the juicy, lightly herbal-infused Pinot berry fruits to the briskness of the acidity and those tannins. It’s one lively youthful Pinot that shows why Pemberton deserves greater recognition with the grape. Sings in cherry and plum fruits, pomegranate, herbs, leaf, gentle spice notes and a light touch of aromatic florals. A very fruit focused wine, it puts on a real charm offensive and it’s hard not to be seduced.  And that’s about all you need to know. Enjoy!
