PINOT NOIR 2023

Lifted aromas of red cherry, redcurrants and pomegranate with hints of rose, earthy spice and rhubarb.  A vibrant medium to light weight palate with a hint of savouriness. Lasting acidity with fine, long and elegant tannins.

Our 2023 Pinot Noir was handpicked on March 17, 2023, destemmed and cold soaked for two days prior to fermenting on skins in open-top fermenters over 10 days. Matured in 30% new and aged oak barriques for ten months before racking and bottling in February 2024.

VINTAGE 2023

The 2023 vintage was marked by challenging cool and wet conditions over Spring, with regular rains producing lower yields than normal. An extended growing season evolved into warm and dry weather in late summer, preserving natural acidity whilst adding flavour and complexity to our maturing fruit.

JASPER MORRIS REVIEW 

Circulus Wine Pinot Noir 2023 - 91/100 points

Smoky cherry, rhubarb, nutmeg and red rose lead the charge before in an initially skeletal set of aromas, before air unlocks more earthy underbrush notes along with some emergent fruits in the form of wild strawberry, red currant, and a twist of tangerine to fill it out. The palate is fine boned, red fruited and similarly linear with red cherry, red rose, earth, red currant, and nutmeg encased in a very nervy structural aesthetic with perky acidity and firm-but-fine tannins framing the finish.
