Curly Flat White Pinot 2024

Share

Ok, so this is a little different. It’s made from Pinot grapes picked at the same time as the normal Pinots and then taken off skins pretty quickly so that just a faint blush of pink remains in the wine. The colour is more akin to a Rosé, to give you an idea. It gets its texture and mouthfeel by being left on lees for about 5 months with only neutral non-intrusive oak being used. Aromas of strawberry and raspberry with subtle savoury and light truffle nuances pointing to its varietal origins. Nice current drinking wine.
