Escarpment Noir

Bright garnet in colour the wine opens with spice and savoury characters, which are the hallmark of Martinborough Pinot Noir. This is an elegant expression with red fruit accents, reminiscent of fresh summer berries. There is also an autumnal feel to the wine, with turned earth, sumac and dark chocolate. The palate is taught and juicy, with forest floor and more of the savoury nuances coming through. It is crunchy and fresh, with a vibrancy and softness that is carried by silky tannin. This is a wine that is created with early drinking in mind but will reward with a few years in the cellar.
