Wythall Estate Pinot Noir 2018
Wythall Estate's Pinot Noir is a rich garnet colour which fades to a pinkish tone at the rim. Black cherry and fresh raspberry fragrances delight the nose and appear again on the palate with a touch of rich earthiness. There is good acidity, barely perceptible tannin which gives an appealing mouth feel, leading to a soft, velvety finish.
Using the Pinot Noir mutated Fruhburgunder grape the vine ripens two-to-three weeks earlier than the Pinot Noir. Early ripening means the fruits escape the onset of a cold winter.
