Tomich Woodside Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023

From a single vineyard in the Woodside sub-region of the Adelaide Hills, which was planted in 2001, the fermentation was with wild yeasts and 30% whole bunches. Fermentation is in small batch open fermenters. The wine then enjoys eighteen months maturation in French barrels, 20% of which were new. An attractive ruby garnet hue here, the nose is showing us notes of spices, bright red fruits, red cherries, florals, hints of forest floor characters and animal skins. Red currants and raspberries emerge on the palate. This has bright acidity running the full journey, sleek tannins, balance and exemplary length. Drink for four to eight years. Love it, a Pinot of grace.
