Overview:
Dry River Pinot Noir 2023 is a profound and contemplative wine that channels the spirit of the estate’s beginnings. Despite the challenges of the vintage, this release delivers depth, tension, and complexity, framed by the clay-rich soils and subtle minerality of the site. Structured for longevity, it embodies the harmony between power and elegance that defines Dry River’s legacy.
Tasting Notes:
Aromas of botanicals, savoury umami, blood, and hints of brown sugar and bran unfold with time into cedar-like maple, tobacco, walnut oil, and sage. The palate is layered and textural, echoing the vineyard’s clay soils with a subtle mineral skeleton. Dark-toned fruit sits beneath spice and blossom flourishes, creating an evocative profile that is best enjoyed with patient cellaring. Hold for at least three years, with the potential to evolve beautifully over 15 years. Pair with roasted duck, venison, or wild mushroom dishes.
