Freycinet Pinot Noir

Crafted from fully ripened fruit handpicked from our original 1979 plantings, predominantly the own-rooted G5V15 clone, this wine showcases the artistry of 100% whole berry fermentation, yielding impressive fruit weight and refined, supple tannins. Aged for 11 months in French oak barriques (25% new) on fine lees, it embodies sophistication and depth.

This wine radiates power, concentration, complexity, and remarkable length. The nose entices with a captivating blend of spice, macerated cherries, ripe raspberries, and plums, layered with delicate floral notes of rosehip, truffle, and earthy undergrowth. The palate is vibrant and intricately detailed, revealing an exquisite tapestry of exotic spices, pomegranate, and sour cherry, seamlessly intertwined with subtle oak undertones, sleek mineral tannins, and a luxurious, satiny texture.

With its silky mouthfeel and evolving gamey, forest floor nuances, this wine promises to deepen in complexity with careful cellaring over the next 10 to 15 years. A magnificent expression, it truly reflects the unique terroir of this exceptional site.
