Tasting notes
The 2023 Pinot Noir Elliott emerges from a section within the Hellenthal Vineyard. Bold and racy, with gorgeous fruit purity, the 2023 has a lot to offer. Crushed red berry fruit. Blood orange, chalk, mint and white pepper race across the palate. Floral and mineral top notes drive the finish. The 2023 is an attractive wine, although it loses some depth with aeration.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Elliott barrel sample is distinctive and angular in structure, with a more citrus-inflected feel. With mouthwatering acidity and spice, it has an almost Nebbiolo-like structure, but with more angular grip and wild herbs. Drink after 2025.

The team from Ceritas are continuing to push the bar steadily higher, never resting on their laurels. The 2023 range from them is not to be missed.
