Perhaps the most compelling pinot from Hesket to date. A silky, round palate is tempered with fine boned tannins and sufficient acidity to carry the vibrant compote of red fruit notes on a lengthy journey.

Magenta hue: a lifted aromatic of forest floor, touch of dewy rose petals at dawn, twigs, red fruits and beets wrapped in a whisper of charry, peaty oak that adds another dimension to the bouquet. A silky, round palate is tempered with fine boned tannins and sufficient acidity to carry the vibrant compote of red fruit notes on a lengthy journey. The fruit is ripe and savoury. All augurs well for a bright future. Perhaps the most compelling pinot from Hesket to date. Enjoy now with a decent decant or wait a few years to see the real potential fully realised as it gains more weight and complexity in the bottle.

Wine Pilot

There is an immediate inviting quality to this young Pinot; a striking rosehip, cherry-infused fragrance makes for a most enticing introduction. Super fresh and bright, berry and floral aromas combine with mellow, woody spices, dried herbs, earth and leaves. The energy continues on the palate.  Red cherries roll through, wild strawberries and blueberries, too, with a leafy and herbal side that brings added depth, but it is the lifted floral aromatics with hints of orange rind that stay with you and truly resonate long. The flavours are fleshy, flowing effortlessly across savoury tannins. Terrific balance throughout. It will be hard to resist from opening this Pinot right now!
