Amisfield RKV Reserve Pinot Noir
A truly exceptional single-block wine, cropped at low levels and grown on a 2 Hector block called Rocky Knoll.
These vines grow on a north and south-facing knoll where the Lochar soils are gravelly with a very thin layer of loose sandy loam.
This naturally produces smaller berries and lower yields.
Complex and concentrated with notes of dense dark fruits, a distinct savouriness with hints of umami/soy character, and a cherry spicy oak lift.
A generous palate offers richness up front that is focussed and pulled into line by the lovely powdery tannins as a result of the warmer vintage.
A wine of exceptional concentration, drive, and length.
