Dalrymple 'Mt Lord' Pinot Noir 2022
The Wine
Defying the skeptics, Mt. Lord Vineyard is perched on an east-facing steep slope high above the Coal River Valley. The vineyard thrives on low-yielding, multi-clonal blocks and our philosophy of small-batch winemaking with the finest French oak barriques, presenting a challenge and thrill with each harvest.
Upon opening, notes of blue florals and olive are prominent. Aromas of liquorice and Doris plum, along with hints of Asian 5 spice and Tasmanian native bushes, provide a winter herbaceous lift. The aromatics have a brooding quality, with notes of flint and blueberry. The wine's fine natural acidity and powdery tannins temper the fruit profile, which includes fresh plum, tamarillo, cured meats, and truffle. The interplay of natural acidity and delicate red fruits delivers flavor throughout the palate and lingers impressively for a young wine, leading to an earthy texture and a mellowing of red fruits, enriched with savory, cocoa notes.
