Another new release from the Grant Burge backed Vignerons of the World. This was wild fermented and made with minimal intervention using whole berries. A ‘muscular Pinot’ apparently.

A bold and full flavoured Pinot, this smells diffuse, volatile and a little aimless, all red cherries in a muddy pond. The impressively masculine, brawny palate flexes its bacon bit extractive muscles but little generosity lies beneath.

A workhorse Pinot for old school Shiraz drinkers, looking more raw and chewy at every turn.
