Wild Irishman Alexandra Pinot Noir 2022 (Magnum 1.5L)
Regular price $159.00 Save $-159.00Tasting Notes
One characteristic which sets Alexanda Basin Pinots apart we think, is minerality. Now the concept of schist rocks and sandy gravels being detectable in the taste of wine is hotly debated by some scientists and wine writers. But we believe a “stony mineral” character underpins Alexandra Basin Pinots and provides tautness at the finish of the wines. When the season and winemaking get it right, the flinty flavours and aromas combine with tannins and acid to give texture and length that is a sub regional hallmark.
Vegan and Vegetarian friendly wine.
Nose: The fruit on the nose is plentiful but there’s that “other” element - washed river stones. Minerality is hard to rationalise but for me it’s real, I taste it.
Palate: Initial softness on entry, good fruitweight flowing into a long, quite juicy finish.
Service
