2023 Sidewood Estate Pinot Noir

Hand picked from low yielding vines at our Mappinga Road and Charleston vineyards. Wild yeast fermented using partial whole-bunch and whole-berry, then matured in larger French oak barrels for up to ten months. Complex aromas of strawberries and cream with hints of forest floor and bay leaf. A seamless and elegant palate of red fruit with enticing gamey notes of wild mushroom. Ample yet delicate tannins are supported by generous length. An outstanding accompaniment to a duck or game dishes, with a side of wild mushrooms. Drinking beautifully now but will continue to evolve with careful cellaring.
