2023 ChaLou ‘Quixotic’ Reserve Pinot Noir

$88.00
/
Tax included.

Varietal: Pinot Noir
Region: Orange, NSW
Winemakers: Nadja Wallington + Steve Mobbs

The Quioxtic Pinot Noir a unique limited blend made using 50% whole bunches. A handful of barrels were set aside from the exceptional 2023 vintage to craft a reserve blend that embodies the perfect storm of seasonal climatic influences, skilled craftmanship and gutsy intuition.

Perfectly Pinot-esque. Aromas of pot pourri, lilac and black cherry with a palate full of floral characters and a hint of red licorice and vanilla. The influence of a 50% whole bunch ferment and time in oak is giving cherry liqueur meets campfire and we can’t get enough.
