Tasting Note

The fourth in the Palliser “Great Dog” series, this is a very special Pinot Noir from our Pencarrow vineyard in Martinborough. I... (more...)t has been barrel aged for 16 months in two-thirds new oak casks, has excellent colour, layers of ripe classic Pinot Noir flavours, structure and texture.The bouquet is quite extraordinary, displaying complex aromas of red/black cherry, vanillin oak, spice and subtle game. It’s flavour-packed and meltingly sweet on the palate showing velvety texture, excellent weight and fine, chalky tannins providing a firm structure and a lengthy dry finish. The wine is intensely flavoured and sturdy yet not heavy. A magnificent Pinot that you can confidently put away for a few years.This superb pinot noir is a Sherry Lehmann exclusive.
