Tomich Woodside Pinot Noir 2022

A real change of pace with the Woodside Pinot Noir. Here you’ll find stewed strawberries, raspberry licorice and pomegranate seeds with rhubarb stem, cinnamon quill, pink peppercorn and rose leaf. The palate continues on in a vein of red fruit with field mushroom, red peppers and cumin. Tannins slip finely like sand through the hourglass and acidity is upright and lofty. This is a great representation of the Adelaide Hills and the fruit focused and crunchy style it’s known for. Drink with a chorizo based prawn pasta or something with a paprika based seasoning.
