Dalrymple Pinot Noir 2022
The Wine
Dalrymple Pinot Noir is a blend of parcels from their vineyards at Pipers River and Coal River Valley, and growers at Swansea and Ouse. Each of these sites are unique with distinctive individual terroirs, building complexity into the final wine blend.
Fermentation started after two or three days and continued for four to five days, with up to five per cent whole bunches. The cap was plunged twice a day to extract colour and tannin from the skin. The wine was then pressed and settled before being placed into French oak barriques for 11 months, where malolactic fermentation took place.
Dark, deep garnet in colour with deep purple hues. Intense aromas of blackberry, dark cherry and ripe plum dominate the more subtle spices and dried herbs that become more complex as the wine opens after several hours. Juicy plum and dark fruits on the palate are courtesy of a low yielding, long growing season. Tannins are bold and round, balanced with fine natural acidity and a long finish of blue fruits and five spice.
