Werkstatt 2024 Mount Gambier Pinot Noir

"After spending our first few months sledging Australian Pinot Noir (with some notable exceptions) I feel I must walk back a few of my criticisms in the face of this eminently drinkable wine. Red and black cherry abounds with full support from rubbed sage; alongside are blood orange, mineral nuances (slight ore and shell hints), and some fragrant raspberry and rose petals. The palate is round, with integrated acidity and minerality. Raspberries and cherries in a melange, a hint of cherry pit, tarragon, and warm basalt rocks. Refreshingly limestone on the finish with the length bringing orange zest and shucked oyster shell tincture with concentration." - David
