Neck of the Woods Pinot Noir 2018, Bendigo, Central Otago

Soft and fruity, quite floral and seductive - aromas and perfumes of cherry and rose, raspberry and a touch of dried thyme, a quiet softly spoken oak layer with brown spices of oak and a touch of wood smoke. On the palate - tense, dry, fruity and poised. A youthful textured wine with firm tannins and an abundance of acidity. Flavours of red fruits mirror the nose as do the wood spices of french oak and wild herbs of the Bendigo Hills. A wine that will develop and age well over the coming 2-4 years. ideal drinking from early 2021 through 2026. Decant for service throughout this time.
