Beresford Wines Emblem Pinot Noir Adelaide Hills 2024

The fruit for this immensely enjoyable Pinot Noir is sourced from high-altitude vineyards at Kuitpo and Aldgate. There were 8% whole bunches incorporated in the fermentation, before maturation in a range of larger format French oak for six months. A light crimson colour, this is a fresh and appealing style of Pinot with notes of florals, bay leaves, leaf litter, rose petals, cinnamon, spices and red cherries. There is promise here. The wine is finely balanced with a lingering finish and sleek tannins. It should be even better in two to three years and then drink very well for another five.
