Another interesting release from Ngeringa. A wine of life is this Ngeringa Summit Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021 too.

Murky, blood red coloured, it’s a wonderful Pinot expression with raspberry, a mulchy dark earth note and glacé red fruits. There’s a little volatile lift, but not enough to derail the expression. Blood and bone, tomato juice, rhubarb and raspberry on the expressive palate. There is a sense of realness to this, with a chewy edge through the finish to give velocity.

Pinot character writ large.
