2023 Plantagenet 'Normand' Pinot Noir

100% Pinot Noir.

A core of red berries, with an earthy richness and subtle vanilla oak essence aromas. A silky texture that glides over the palate, a depth of flavour, and typicality of Great Southern Pinot.

Rated #1 2023 Pinot Noir in the Great Southern - Huon Hooke, The Real Review

92 points - "Deep red-purple colour, very dark for a young pinot noir; there are bold and straightforward plum and almond meal aromas, a touch of earthiness and some toast from oak. A robust pinot noir with plenty of heft and structure, deep and brooding, plush and generous. A pinot of richness and promise." - Huon Hooke, The Real Review

94 points - "This is a mighty impressive young Pinot from this super Pinot season. Really captures the subtlety of the variety but there is structure and driving intensity here delivered on a light to medium body. High energy red berry aromas with a little limestone and damp earthy complexity. Has a fine defining acidity which carries through to the long finish. Will handle cellaring." - Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot

92 points - "This is immediately appealing on the nose, showing sweet cherry, strawberry, thyme and almond notes with a spicy overtone. The palate offers juicy fruit intensity together with beautifully rounded mouthfeel and polished tannins, making it soothing and delightfully appealing." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
