Description

Westcott Reserve Pinot Noir 2020

Westcott Reserve Pinot Noir is a lush and fruit-forward wine. The nose opens with a strong dark cherry character before giving way to warm notes of cocoa and baking spices. The aromas follow through to a medium-bodied and dry palate, which displays a bright acidity and grippy yet soft tannins.

Ageing potential: Enjoy now, but the wine will soften and develop with a few years in bottle.

100% Pinot Noir. The fruit comes from the Westcott Home Farm vineyard in Vinemount Ridge.

30% whole cluster fermentation and wild malolactic fermentation in 100% French oak barrels. The wine then ages for 22 months in the same barrels.

Elegant & Structured Reds

From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.

These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
