There are only two sites in Margaret River capable of producing truly compelling Pinot Noir, and this wine comes from one of them. Located just inland from Cowaramup, it’s a small and special patch of dirt with its own microclimate. Poached rhubarb, cranberry juice and tarragon leaf. It feels a little rebellious to drink. In the mouth, it’s vibrant, with chalky tannins and a lovely interplay between sweet fruit, crushed concrete and toasted apple seeds, the latter most likely a result of a 10% whole bunch inclusion. Good Pinot Noir from Margaret River is still a rarity, and I’m here for it.
