Island of Sliding Doors Pinot Noir 2025

Like the Chardonnay in this portfolio, the fruit has been sourced from the silica sands and clays of the Coal River Valley and the sandy sandstone characters of the Derwent Valley. It’s a clever way to introduce complexity almost before you’ve started. The aroma is thoroughly delightful. Fragrant black cherry, a little plum, and some nice forest floor notes. The palate delivers both with structure and fleshiness, which is the perfect combination when you’re seeking high-class Pinot. There’s a firmness through the tight structural core, but wrapped around and cuddling it is that warm, fleshy Pinot fruit. And it all hangs together before gathering and focusing to a long finish. It’s a most impressive wine.
