Lakes Hayes Pinot Noir 2019, Central Otago

Lots of fresh red cherry and raspberry scents with a bright fresh attack enhanced with aromas of red roses and plum skin. Low use of oak keeps the core of the aromas fruity with just a whisper of barrel spice and lees autolysis. Equally fruit centric on the palate with flavours that reflect the nose - raspberry and red stone fruits, medium+ acidity and a lite oak spice for complexity. Tannins are youthful taut accentuated by the acidity and contrasted again 0 by the core of fruit. Youthful, well made, dry and ready. A wine that should be served cellar cool or even slightly chilled through Summer 2021. best from today and through 2024.
