2023 Catlin Pudding & Pie Pinot Noir

Matured in French oak. Semi translucent bright red colour with black toned edges and a light red hue. Fragrant red cherry and strawberry scents drift from the glass followed by hints of rhubarb, dried herbs and brambly spice notes. Light in body delicious red cherry and strawberry fruits decorate the palate with a supple and elegant feel. Traces of rhubarb, infusions of fresh herbs and spice also chime in. Polished tannins with a fresh red fruited finish.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews…..
From a relatively older vineyard located near Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills. Wild-yeast fermented. A bright but pale ruby colour in the glass makes things easy on the eye. This lightness and vivacity are reflected strongly in the wine, decidedly fine-boned with refreshing red cherry, pomegranate juice and an almost watermelon/granite sweet tang rolling through. Very pretty pinot noir, delicate and thirst-quenching in a way. An attractive crunch to texture and good length seal the deal. It feels lithe and wildly appealing for its suggestion of early consumption, or dare we suggest direct from an ice bucket too. Drink by 2026.
