Tasting Notes
The 2024 ‘First Vines’ Pinot Noir invites you in with lifted aromatics of bright red cherry and juicy plum. Beneath the fruit lies a classic Gibbston signature, dried wild herbs, sweet spice, and a whisper of rocky earth.
On the palate, this wine is supple and textural, with a silky mouthfeel that enhances its vibrant red fruit core. Gentle oak influence and fine-grained tannins create structure, while the natural acidity brings freshness and drive.
Elegant and expressive, this is a wine that speaks clearly of its place of origin. Beautifully poised and already drinking well, it will continue to evolve gracefully for 10+ years in cellar.
