This Pinot noir is a continuation of the popular Voss Estate style. Rich, varietal Pinot noir fruit flavours are enveloped by tannins and natural acidity. The wine has an excellent mouth feel, soft and smooth. Ripe black cherry/raspberry fruit is complemented by a pleasant savoury spiciness. The cedary oak, from 12 months in French barriques (15% new) should meld quickly into the overall texture. We like to build structure into our wines. This structure comes from using fruit from old vines and also techniques we employ in the winery. We are aiming to reinforce the natural ripe fruit flavours with layers of silky tannins. It is these tannins which give the wine backbone and aid in the aging process. Bottled with no fining or filtration and sealed with screw caps. Like all our Pinots this wine will age gracefully. Best drinking 2010 through to 2018.
