About the wine
Classically elegant!
- Sam's outstanding Victorian range has delivered once again with this tantalising Pinot! Following his finely tuned instinct, Sam has assembled a blend of three outstanding Pinot Noir parcels to achieve something truly beautiful. The Plunkett family vineyard gives classic strawberry flavours, Bald Rock vineyard is a little warmer and contributes more powerful Pinot, and Elgo vineyard which in 2015 made the most delicate wines out!
- It's pale red colour is followed by a complex aroma of spice, some strawberry and a floral perfume. The elegance and lightness is enveloped in a medium body to give a flavoursome yet refreshing drink! Running a cool ferment allowed Sam to preserve pretty fruit flavours and limit the extraction on tannin. This is perfect for his goal of making a velvety Pinot which is a lovely drink as a youngster, rather than a wine that needs years to develop before balancing out.
- This wine is Angel brilliance in action! Considering Pinot Noir makes some of the most expensive and sought after wines in the world, fancy being able to buy a delicious cool climate Pinot for under $15. Don't miss the awesome value of this Plunkett gem!
Best before
The young, fresh strawberry and spice perfume of this Pinot is what Sam has aimed for, so suggested time to enjoy is from now until 2017. Some people will cellar this wine and enjoy it as a more savoury complex Pinot in 3-5 years, but for Sam the more youthful style is the go.
Serving advice
More refreshing when served a little cooler than room temperature, perhaps serve at 14-16ºC. No need to decant, just enjoy!
Food match
Pinot and duck is a classic match so if you are heading out for Peking Duck at a favourite Chinese restaurant be sure to take this bottle along! If cooking at home, try Sam's personal favourite - with lots of rabbits on the farm he loves matching Rabbit Terrine with Pinot every now and then. Yum!
