Planted at approximately 300 metres elevation on grey clay and volcanic soils, this cool site produces a beautifully fragrant wine with aromas of wild strawberry, black raspberry and pure red cherry, layered with peony, bergamot, Chinese five-spice, tea leaf and subtle woodland notes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied, silky and energetic, with succulent red fruit supported by vibrant acidity and exceptionally fine, tightly woven tannins. Savoury herbs, orange peel and gentle spice add complexity, leading to an impressively long, floral and persistent finish. It combines immediate perfume and charm with the structure required for extended cellaring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is one of the finest expressions of Applejack Vineyard and an outstanding choice for collectors of premium Australian Pinot Noir.
