2025 The Farm Grown Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes: cherry | violets | juicy | silky

Hand-picked from the Michael's vineyard in Seville in the glass this wine is a delicate, translucent cherry red - but don't let that fool you. A perfumed bouquet of violets, bright cherry and rich spice jumps out of the glass to greet you. On the palate, lashings of fresh raspberry are complimented by a silky finish.

Vintage Notes:
Vintage 2025 gave us time – time for the grapes to ripen perfectly, time for us to pick in an orderly way, time to spend in the cellar perfecting the transformation from grape juice to delicious wine. The season started warm but cooled down during the crucial month of March.
