Paracombe Plateau Pinot Noir 2021

This wine comes off the original plantings in this Adelaide Hills property. It’s a wine that makes quite a statement about the Adelaide Hills. Largely whole bunch fermented before being sent to seasoned French oak for 24 months. Obviously, well-chosen oak has allowed the wine to mature and finally reveal without even a suggestion of excessive oak. Grazed cherry and earthy mushroomy characters – the nose is distinctively Pinot. The medium weight palate displays the supple flesh with fine acidity to focus a long finish. There’s a nice leafy sage-like influence floating through it.
