The Battle of Bosworth Expat Pinot Noir 2024

There’s very little Pinot grown in McLaren Vale these days, as it was originally designed and planted as a sparkling wine base. This shows that in good years, some mighty impressive wines like this from Pinot can be produced. On the nose, there are fragrances of sour cherry and florals, while the light to medium weight palate is both poised and expressive, with lovely red fruits delivered with a slight savoury truffly character. It’s quite bright and brilliant, with a chalky, slightly grainy texture adding tremendous appeal. It only got a small amount of oak in the maturation stage, so it’s a rather precise expression of the variety. Very appealing.
