2019 Kelly Washington Pinot Noir, Central Otago
Made with a lighter touch and expressing the more feminine, delicate nature of Tamra and Simon's beloved variety. A wholly transparent Pinot Noir that exudes the heady perfume that defines the subregion of Gibbston. Crushed herbs combine with dark cherry and notes of fragrant violets and berry fruits. The palate is structured, yet elegant and supple.

From the cool Gibbston area, this 2019 Pinot Noir is savory, supple and smooth. It is elegant and light-bodied but packs plenty of sweet cherry fruit, perfumed florals and wild herbs, as well as spice. Finely textured with a medium-long finish.
