Rapaura Springs Pinot Noir 2023 (750ml)

A very bright and youthful bouquet with a flourish of light red fruit aromas suggestion raspberry and cherry flesh, red apple skin then roses. There are layers of crumbled stone mineral and fine lees with some baking spice qualities from the use of oak - all layering in a vibrant complexity and charm. Taut, fleshy, youthful and dry as the wine touches the palate. Fine tannins and a backbone of acidity preface the core fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet. Well made, drinkable to day though be

The 2023 Reserve Pinot Noir leads with intense pomegranate fruit, bramble and spice, with a cooling, mineral feel to the palate. The tannins are grippy and chalky yet fine and feed positively into the core of fruit. It will likely evolve in a bloody, meaty direction. It's not too complex but nicely handled and enjoyable. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
