2024 In Dreams Pinot Noir - Mild winter led to earlier than usual bud burst which resulted in an early vintage. The season was cool and wet again (just like 20, 21 & 23). The largest deluge of rain came in January (180mm) which presented a massive challenge for the vineyard team. Lots of hard work delivered the winery team a beautifully clean and ripe crop.
5% whole bunches and 15% new oak. A light, bright garnet. A pretty bouquet redolent of redcurrant, alpine strawberry and spice rack spices. It's a touch closed at present on the compact and nicely persistent palate. Will be even better once it fills out over the next six to 12 months or so. - 93 points, Shanteh Wale
