Airlie Bank Pinot Noir (12 bottles) 2023
Tasting Notes
Half whole bunches to encourage carbonic maceration, half destemmed fruit. Left in tank on lees for 6 months. This is right up there as a ripper drink-now summery red. Vivacious, juicy and sappy with cherries and pips, baking spices and a flutter of smokiness. Lighter framed, some give to the tannins and refreshing acidity makes this a lip-smacking wine.
About the Winery
Airlie Bank dares to treat drinkers with respect by delivering wines that are delicious and true - as well as remarkably good value. Tim Shand and the team enjoy freedom to push boundaries. Their small-batch ethos has led to a great deal of creativity and ever-decreasing doses of sulphur. Pure drinking pleasure is the one-point manifesto of Airlie Bank, and the thirsty take-up across the board shows that they're hitting the mark.
