Overview
The Gibbston Valley Glenlee Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is a refined expression of its unique terroir in the Gibbston subregion. Sourced from vines meticulously planted in 2002 on free-draining glacial outwash soils, this Pinot Noir captures the essence of the vineyard's high-density configuration and north-facing slopes. The growing season blessed the region with warm, sunny days and cool nights, preserving acidity and producing low-yield, intensely flavoured fruit. Aged for 10 months in French oak, this wine is a masterclass in balance, elegance, and aromatic complexity.
Tasting Notes
A captivating bouquet of blackberry, wild herbs, and crushed petals greets the senses, embodying the distinctive character of the Gibbston region. On the palate, vibrant red fruit intertwines with whispers of wild herbs and a thread of fine tannins, creating a delicate yet persistent mouthfeel. The finish is elegantly long, leaving a wistful impression of grace and depth. Perfectly poised, this Pinot Noir is an exquisite reflection of the Glenlee vineyard’s heritage and craftsmanship.
