Tasting Notes
This 2023 Pinot Noir displays a vibrant ruby hue with garnet reflections. The nose reveals bright red cherry and subtle cranberry, layered with hints of clove, and gentle forest floor. On the palate, silky tannins and balanced acidity support flavours of red plum, pomegranate, and a touch of rose petal. The restrained oak adds warmth and complexity, culminating in a lingering, elegant finish.

Food Complements
Pair this Pinot Noir with seared duck breast with a cherry gastrique, miso-glazed salmon with pickled radish, or charred vegetable and goat’s cheese flatbreads. It also complements lightly spiced pork belly sliders or roasted beet and walnut salads, and works beautifully with earthy mushroom bao buns or Korean-style chicken wings, highlighting the wine’s bright red fruit and delicate structure.

Vintage
The cool nighttime temperature and warmer day time temperature ensured wines with great concentration in 2023, the compact bunches and small berries also added to that. The winter season started earlier than usual, and March was a very wet month. Véraison started early but continued for a long time. Harvest was also early - 11 days earlier than the previous year - and stopped fourteen days earlier than in 2022. The temperatures were moderate with few heat waves.
