Description
Dalrymple’s Cottage Block Pinot Noir is a single site wine from the cool climes of our Pipers River vineyard. Only the best fruit from the vineyard and the best barrels are selected for this wine.
Tasting NotePronounced notes of blue fruit, cassis flower and violets with distinctive site characters of sour cherry and Asian spice. The note of Christmas cake spice is a real nod towards the vintage influence. An initial soft, red berry fleshiness with silky tannins is followed by generous texture on the palate.
Best Enjoyed WithSeared duck breast with tamarillo cream sauce served with roasted baby beetroot, Asian greens and couscous, or chickpea pasta with Calabrian-style tomato sauce, sauteéd field mushrooms and chargrilled capsicums.
TreatmentFruit was handpicked and ferments were hand plunged daily, then two to three times a day until fermentation was complete. The wine was pressed into tank and racked to French oak barriques. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation during its ten months in barrel.
