2022 Bull Swamp

Notes from big William.
The wine has a deep ruby red colour. The nose shows concentrated blackberry, blackcurrant and poached plum fruit aromas as well as rosemary, rosehip and shiitake mushroom. The palate is tight and savoury with rusted iron, wood spice and pomegranate molasses. This dry grown vineyard was planted in 1981 on old, red volcanic soils at 150m elevation. There are four separate parcels of Pinot Noir, two north facing blocks of MV6 and another of Abel, as well as a more sheltered south facing block of MV6.
