Paracombe Adelaide Hills Plateau Pinot Noir 2022

The wine comes from the team’s original 1983 plantings. The best barrel is selected each year. The vineyard providing these grapes is planted on a plateau, 1.7 billion years in age. The wine enjoys two years maturation in French oak. 53 cases produced. Pale crimson in hue, there is early complexity evident already and we can expect this to continue to grow over time. The nose gives us aromas of raspberries, warm earth, bay leaves, dried herbs, truffles and root vegetables, along with a touch of toasty oak. There is an appealing silkiness to the palate, through to fine and sleek tannins. The wine is well balanced with a good line of acidity and a lingering finish. Excellent value. Drink over the next eight to ten years.
