Chard Farm Viper Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018, Central Otago

Immediately complex bouquet with layers of ripe red berries, soft mountain herb of dried thyme, scents of roses, fresh air then stony soils and wood tones. On the palate - youthful, fruity, tense and dry. Tannins are chalky, acidity medium+, flavours of cherry and red plum, roses and baking spices. The oak adds a layer of smoke and new wood, a touch of raw sugar and vanilla. A lovely wine. Ready to enjoy from today and through 2024+.
