Tasting Notes: This wine is crimson, ruby red in colour with an earthy, savoury aroma and enjoyable strawberry, black cherry palate of good length.

Wine Analysis: Alcohol = 13.9 %, pH = 3.55, TA = 6.7g/l, Residual Sugar = 1.3g/l

Vintage & Winemaking Notes: The 2006 vintage was again generally warm and dry, making the life of the vineyard manager a little easy than most years. The fruit was harvested on 3rd, 4th and 5th April at 13.4 Baume. The wine was matured in a combination of new and old oak. The picking date of Pinot Noir is crucial so as not to 'over ripen' the fruit to lose it's varietal characters.

“Like all the Tertini Pinots, very light in colour and body, but does have length and surprising intensity.”
