2024 Supply River Mill Pinot Noir

 + Tasting Notes

An elegant, alluring wine. The 2024 Supply River Mill Vineyard Pinot Noir has vibrant ruby hues. The bouquet is an enticing mix of red berry, savoury, white pepper and spice notes. The primary palette is of rich red fruit and summer pudding, with fresh light chewy tannins, a generous mouthfeel and a long textured finish. Delicious to drink now.

+ Winemaking 2024 Supply River Pinot Noir

Only the best two-tonnes of fruit is used for our single-site Pinot Noir. Fruit intensity is key with the emphasis on small bunches. The 777, 114 and 115 clones were picked in early March with a small parcel of the 8048. Clones were vinified in small batches. The select fruit then had eleven months élevage (French oak, 35% new barrique from Taransaud) before careful blending. 

The 777 clone adds the prettiness of wild strawberry to the denser fruit flavours of the 114 and 115 clones, giving layers of silky tannin. The wine is unfined and unfiltered. Bottling was in February 2025.
