Airlie Bank Pinot Noir 2023 750ml

The gentleness of the weather and benign vintage conditions led to gradual ripening and high tannin synthesis, but most significantly ripe tannins – dense but fine-grained. We have found that whole-bunch ferments in the milder years can lean towards aggressive green tea characters, so we brought the proportion back to 40% this year. That's still much higher than any “affordable” Pinot on the market. The role of the whole bunch element in people’s enjoyment of this wine can’t be overstated.
