Henty Farm Pinot Meunier 2023

This is a most fascinating red. Meunier is famous as the third grape of the Champagne trilogy and rarely seen as a straight red varietal. Definitely worth having a look at this wine to see what it offers in this form. Pale crimson in colour, this is spicy, with notes of pepper and cinnamon, and with cherries and raspberries emerging with time in the glass. There is a sour cherry character found on the finish. Well structured with fine acidity and decent length while slightly slippery tannins sit towards the finish. Drink anytime over the next three to four years.
