They insulate and warm our ferments, because vintage is cold that high in the Piccadilly Valley.\u003cbr\u003eThe young wines grow slowly in their barrels for 18 to 20 months on grows lees, They do not filter or fine and use minimal sulphur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are creating amazing Pinot Noir's and it is a delight to have them in our shop.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"whisson-lake-black-label-pinot-noir-2023-6-pack","title":"Whisson Lake Black Label Pinot Noir 2023 - 6 Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe product of a remarkable season in the Adelaide Hills, this ‘Black Label’ represents the very best of a young wine from Whisson Lake. Its pale colour belies its intense fruitiness, with heady perfumes of strawberry, roses, and sour Davidson’s plum. Dig deeper to uncover restrained aromas of wax crayon, aniseed, and fresh earth, with tart fruits on the palate and very pretty tannins. This is another Pinot from Whisson Lake that punches well above its weight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe summer of 2023 in Adelaide Hills was cold and it can be felt in this wine as haunting tart red fruit perfume and wet forest. As a result, the wine is ethereal. The aromas are high-toned, scents of pure strawberry and mineral tension, red rose petals and gunflint notes. Tannins are very fine, not quite silky, more velvety or silty. The texture long carries the flavours that you long for in a Pinot–wild berries and sous bois, moss and alpine herbs. It’s an impressive Pinot Noir and very much Burgundian in its suit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95pts.
