Payne's Rise 'Mr Jed' Pinot Noir 2018

Hand-picked, destemmed, straight to fermenter, cold soak for 3 days, aged in new (20%), 1 yo (20%) and 2-3 yo oak for 10 months, no fining or filtration. The cloudy, cherry-red appearance is nothing to be concerned about, indeed it’s an indication that all the pinot goodies have not been fined or filtered away. A vibrant, youthful look and scent of fresh cherries, raspberries, cranberries with floral musk, dried flowers. Juicy-fruited, the palate works the mouth with energy. 95 Points – Jeni Port – Halliday Wine Companion
