The aim for KK01 has always been to craft a delicious, earth-to-glass Pinot with immediate charm and early appeal.Popping with fresh-berry fragrance and savoury, spicy depth, it’s a real charmer.

It’s more Burgundian than the other Pinots in the range. Redolent with forest berries earth and spice, the weight is silky and svelte with lovely crunchy acidity and a concentrated lengthy close. This is Quealy at the top of their Pinot game.

Pretty Pinot fruits, perfumed florals and a pinch of spice align to a supple and silky texture, refreshing acidity and beautifully integrated, fine-grained tannins. It’s packed with juicy flavours and has drive and length for days. A moreish, pepper-flecked finish encourages a further pour.

The power of the vintage and the pedigree of the Lenswood site is immediately apparent here in the pure red summer fruits, tea cake spice, a touch of warm earth and bright floral allure. There’s a nice, tight composition with balanced complexities and a real sense of energy. The whole-bunch component is spot on, beautifully integrated with the tight structures, silky flow and complex length. Power, poise and outright quality in the glass.

What strikes you most is the lovely balance between fruit and savoury character, with bright berries, perfumed florals, tilled earth and some cured meat flavours supporting a structure of sappy/crunchy acidity and juicy, enveloping tannins.

Fragrant nose of dried strawberries, raspberries, hibiscus, potpourri and nutmeg. It’s medium-bodied with finely knit tannins. Silky and perfumed, with a lengthy, floral finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

It’s elegant and aromatic, deeply flavoured but never weighty; its silky and supple texture is underpinned by long, tender tannins and seductively fresh acidity. The beautifully calibrated finish is enchantingly slinky and impressively persistent.

Rose petal spiced plum and strawberries with some crushed nutmeg on the nose. The palate exhibits similar flavour spectrum with some nice density to it, trademark Toolangi tannin to close but its fresh and ready to go!

It’s a silky Pinot with a fleshy, textural palate, a heady mix of red fruit, loads of spice and forest-floor savouriness encased by sleek, juicy tannins. It’s a wine that over-delivers big time

There’s delicious perfume with some sappy notes and pure red fruit to intensity kick things off, alongside touches of bramble, florals and a lick of blue fruit. The fine boned structure screams cool climate with powdery tannins and delicate oak supporting a palate that suggests ripe, intensely-flavoured grapes picked at the perfect time, with good acidity. The finish possesses real class and impressive purity. It’s tighter and more coiled than the Central Otago Pinot—if you can’t give it time to unwind, a good decant will work wonders.

Alluringly fresh out the glass, you get lovely scents of dark cherry, exotic spice and an earthy tinge. It’s silky and vibrant fleshy, with a fine-boned structure offering plenty of immediate drinking pleasure. Wrapping around a core of deep red fruit, the tannins are perfectly formed and it closes with powerful length, elegance and freshness.

The palate has so much excitement and vibrancy yet an undeniable depth of flavour. Red fruits and savoury notes all present here. The acidity is fresh yet doesn’t attract from the silky mouthfeel - still a long road ahead for this wine.

The palate is a juxtaposition of vibrant red berry fruits and finely structured tannins building towards a generously velvety core of cherry and spice balanced by precise seam of acidity that draws the palate out to a long lingering finish.

The palate is taut and powerful with powdery fine tannins up front lending a sinewy elegance. A fine streak of acidity offers a lively backdrop to the abundant berry fruits, presenting a wine that is both powerful and dense yet beautifully light on its feet.

Sweet red, black and blue berry fruits abound on the palate, with fleeting nuances of red currant, cola, cinnamon, thyme, crushed coriander seed and star anise adding layers of intrigue. Seamlessly integrated oak and powder fine tannins combine with a fine bead of acidity to give a fresh, pleasingly long finish.
