Region: |
Mt Barker, The Great Southern |

Technical Notes: |
The Flint Rock Pinot Noir is a combination of individual vineyard blocks and clones from our Mt. Barrow vineyard and selected long term growers. The coming together of these special vineyard sites provides a rich complexity to the wine due to the unique combination of soils, aspect, clones and microclimates.

Tasting Notes: |
Deep-garnet in appearance with aromas of sauteed wild sweet cherry, freshly baked fruit muffins and underlying earth, star anise and cherry notes. The palate is abundant of sweet, red fruits, savoury mushroom and spice with a hint of sappyness from the inclusion of a small percentage of stalks in the fermentation. The ample fine fruit tannins provide structure to the rich fruit weight and a distinct mineral acidity deftly finishes the wine.
