BackVintage 2014 Frankland River Pinot Noir
This full-flavoured wine, enhanced by 10% whole bunches used during fermentation, shows red cherry and raspberry fruit matched with balanced firm tannins. Delicious with duck and lamb dishes. Cellaring 2017+
What makes this pinot noir such a standout?
Being only slightly warmer that Burgundy, the Frankland River is an ideal region for growing pinot noir. The grapes have ripened slowly, maximising intensity and flavour. It's fruit forward, approachable and well made...need we say more?
