Stoney Rise - Pinot Noir - 2021

This year, 90% estate grown grapes, mainly younger vines, with a percentage of old vine fruit to give it a boost. I think I got that right. Joe Holyman dropped in this morning, and I’m usually so busy admiring him, that I can’t focus on the listening part. Bright, red fruits, paprika, dusting of cinnamon. Light and feathery, with nutty flavours, bright acidity, a fine powdery tannin texture, and a firm red cherry and red fruited finish. Very nice. Brisk, but ever so tasty. 93 Points Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
