Description
Dalrymple Pinot Noir is a true reflection of our unique vineyards. Carefully selected parcels from Pipers River, Coal River Valley, and our growers at Ouse create complexity and nuance.
The deep garnet colour leads into spiced cranberries, black cherry, plum and mocha aromas. Given time, these aromas are complex with Asian five spice, and savoury characters. the palate is bright with fleshy, red fruits, spice, silky tannins and natural acidity keeping flavours lively to the long finish. As the wine ages, expect more savoury notes developing alongside the spicy, dark fruits.
Best Enjoyed With
Smoked roast beetroot with silky skordalia or roasted duck with a black cherry and Madeira sauce served with creamy mashed potato.
Treatment
Fermentation started after two or three days and continued for four to five days, with up to five per cent whole bunches. The cap was plunged twice a day to extract colour and tannin from the skin. The wine was then pressed and settled before being placed into French oak barriques for 11 months, where malolactic fermentation took place.
