2022 Swiftsure Bannockburn Pinot Noir
Estate grown and hand-picked, the 2023 has a compelling aromatic with incredible fruit lift and savouriness, dark berry fruits and complex herbal notes with lift from the stem inclusion and the subtle green smoke influence of Acacia wood.
The palate shows excellent density; it is linear with a firm tannin structure and tremendous length. There is true complexity which will become subtly more apparent with each passing year, a wine designed for the long haul

Tasting Notes
Dark cherry, blackberry and wild herbs on the nose, with an earthy, savoury edge and lift from the stem inclusion. The palate is dense and linear, with dark fruit, a hint of cocoa and a subtle smoky note, framed by firm, fine tannins. Long and built to age.
