Wild Irishman 'Kinross' Gibbston Pinot Noir 2024
Regular price $105.00 Save $-105.00Tasting Notes
The Kinross Wild Irishman block, located a few metres away from our cellar door, is the source of grapes for one of Alan and Brian’s latest single-vineyard labels (2018 was the first vintage). This label expresses the delicate and intriguing personality of Gibbston Pinot Noirs and shows the classic depth that you expect in wines from Alan Brady and Brian Shaw.
Instantly attractive on the nose. Vibrant red fruits, red cherries, and raspberries with floral hints. Subtle spice and oak on the nose. On the palate, the wine is broad and juicy with abundant fruit characters and a savoury edge. Abundant fine tannins provide structure and length, and the classic fresh acidity of Gibbston keeps the wine alive.
Service
If you open this bottle from 2025 to 2030, we highly recommend opening that bottle 2 to 3 hours before, if it is possible, at 16-18 degrees Celsius. From 2031, you can open this wine and won't need as much aeration.
Cellaring
Enjoy it today or keep until 2035.
