Tasting notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard is bright and effusive. Crushed red berry fruit, flowers, dried herbs and a kiss of sweet French oak are nicely lifted. This racy, exuberant Pinot is quite the charmer. It, too, will benefit from a bit of cellaring.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard brings a more concentrated, serious feel and offers ripe mulberry and cherry fruit as well as scorched earth, graphite, and minerality, with nicely integrated oak. It's medium-bodied, concentrated, and focused, with a beautiful mouthfeel. It needs 2-3 years in the cellar (you'd be forgiven for enjoying a bottle today) and will evolve nicely over the following decade.
Aged for 10 months in 63% new French oak. Lighter garnet. Smells of cherry and cranberry fruit mixed with dried herbs. Lovely herbal flavours mix with bright berries, as earthier tones rumble along in the bass clef. Dried herbs accompany gauzy tannins through the finish with a hint of orange peel. (AY)
