Critics reviews

Erin Brooks 91/100
From own-rooted vines planted in 1990, the 2016 Pinot Noir Nysa Vineyard is pale to medium ruby-purple with an open nose of warm red and black cherries and cranberries with notes of dried red rose petals, peppercorn, sliced meats, potpourri and warm earth. Light to medium-bodied, it gives good concentration of cherries and berries flavors in the mouth with meaty/earthy touches and lots of pretty floral perfume, with a good frame of firm, grainy tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long. 100 cases produced.erin_brooks - 31/08/2018

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
