Church Road Grand Reserve Pinot Noir 2019, Central Otago

Totally inviting bouquet of Pinot with aromas of wild raspberry and oak seasoning, dark cherry and dusty, stony soils, a moderate oak toasty barrel aromas and an overall youthful and vibrant nose. On the palate - tense and youthful, firm and dry, varietal, fruity and textured. Fruit flavours mirror the bouquet with a concentration and drive, tannins and acidity are equally important role adding a bold textural statement. There’s a harmony alongside youthful, a core of fruit alongside the need to let this wine settle-in. Best drinking from 2022 through 2028+.
