[SOLD-OUT] Bannockburn 1314 AD Pinot Noir 2017

"The 1314 a.d. wines have been handy additions to the Bannockburn range. They’re made with all estate-grown fruit. This is interesting. It shows trademark Bannockburn spice and stalk-like characters but it feels like a slightly tamer, juicier version thereof. Still plenty going on, mind. Cherry, cranberry, fistfuls of spice, mineral and woodsmoke. Beet too, maybe. It’s the juicy, fluid, succulent side of cerebral. This is a smart wine. It’s perfect for drinking."

"80% destemmed into 4 tonne open fermenters. Wild yeast fermentation, with 15-20 days of total skin contact. Pressed to French oak barriques (20% new) for 8 months élevage, with a Spring malo-lactic fermentation.

Fresh medium weight forest and fruits are offset by subtle whole bunch lift. Acid is enough to cleanse the palate; the gentle and perfumed nature of the harvest is to the fore, with French oak subtlety contributing both aromatics and structure. Suits immediate enjoyment or short term development in cellar."
