Cottier Estate Pinot Noir 2014

~~$29.50~~ $26.55

The small quantities of fruit used to create Cottier Pinot Noir have created a delicious wine with deep intensity. Complexity is added with subtle overtones of savoury oak, the result of 12 months in the finest French barriques. Deep, bright ruby red. Light berry fruits and redcurrants on the nose, with a hint of vanilla. Juicy dark fruits on the palate with a smooth, warm mouthfeel. A measured touch of oak provides a pleasant balance to the fruit flavours, offering a wonderfully smooth finish.

Description

All fruit for this wine was grown and carefully harvested from the vineyard at Dakins Road, Gladstone. An excellent growing season was enjoyed by this region, the result of which is demonstrated in this premium, Pinot Noir. The fruit, after careful harvesting was treated in the winery using traditional vinification methods – regular plunging the wine in tank until fermentation was complete, thereafter pressed to tank and barrel. Bright, clear garnet in colour this wine has a soft, full nose of dark red berry fruit with some complexity hinting of mixed spices.
