Tasting Notes:

Pronounced 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. Hallmark natural acidity drives the mid-palate and adds balance to the fuller fruit flavours. Spices and some savoury notes linger long after the wine is consumed.

Technical:

The growing season started with above average temperatures and low rainfall in spring. This resulted in early flowering and very good berry set. The warm, dry conditions continued through to the end of February, before a week of cool weather and significant rainfall. The weather then returned to warm, dry conditions that persisted to the end of harvest and into May.

This single vineyard wine captures the essence of its climate and vintage. In close proximity to the cool waters of Bass Strait, its breeze moderates growth and grape ripening to maximise full maturity of flavours whilst retaining its fine natural acidity. The Cottage Block is one of the oldest Pinot Noir blocks in our Pipers River vineyard. Situated at the bottom of the hill, this block is warm and well protected from the cool winds. The basalt stones in the soil help keep the vines warm and provide good drainage.

Accolades & Awards:

95 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review

"Medium to deep red colour with good purple tints, bright and fresh. The bouquet is likewise intensely dark cherry-like and spicy, the palate intense and bright, elegantly-weighted and concentrated, the flavour backed up by ample soft tannins. Some dried plum and bitter cherry-pip nuances that help cleanse the finish, the aftertaste lingering well with a touch of grip. It's still young and promises to reveal more complexities with time. (""Best of vintage"")"


93 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion 

"Slight turbidity screens the colour, but there's ample structure and flavour. It's in the Dalrymple legacy of muscular wines, demanding time to loosen up and allow the pinot fruit to express itself."
