"Very sappy and spicy, and yet, there is flavour here. Dried roses and violet, raspberry and cranberry crunch, a little spicy cinnamon oak, plenty of tea and ‘mineral’ stuff, and mint. It’s brisk, cherry and raspberry, with pippy acidity, firm dusty and slightly scratchy tannin, yet the perfume and energy here is kind of compelling. It takes a brave man to pick at this level of ripeness, but the wine carries it off. I’m thinking old school Chambolle, for the perfume and crisp energy, and the finish is bright and long."
As always the Holyman Pinot comes from a block of old vines called Jack. Slightly higher than normal at 75% whole bunch due to the season, and we use 30% new French oak Barriques.
The fruit is hand picked and our well trained pickers do all our fruit sorting in the vineyard. After 7 days of cold soak the wine is naturally fermented and no additions are made except for Sulphur as a preservative.
Light in colour, but full of flavour. Typical forest floor and hints cranberry and red cherry. The palate has all the hallmark red-fruits, hints of mushroom and a complexing smoky oak edge. The beautiful, chalky tannin from the whole bunch component perfectly complement the fresh fruits. Whilst this wine is slightly more fruit forward than our usual style we still think this wine is built to last. It was bottled without being fined or filtered. ¨ Lou & Joe Holyman
