Michael Hall Sang de Pigeon, Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir 2023

'A whiff of campfire, sarsaparilla and maraschino cherry, the confluence of flavours almost negroni-like with fecund strawberry and clove beneath. The tannins, sinewy and gently astringent, brush the sides of the gums while corralling and compressing the fruit into a mould of freshness and approachability. I like this, by virtue of its structural latticework as much as its savoury undertones.'

'Sourced from three sites in the Adelaide Hills: Holland Creek Road in Cudlee Creek, Mawson Road in Lenswood and Gully Road in Piccadilly.

For wine nerds like me: High winter rains preceded a very cool spring. Late budburst, flowering and a cool autumn combined for an extremely late vintage. Hand-picked on 25th March (Cudlee Creek), 13th (Lenswood) and 25th April (Piccadilly). Wild fermented in open fermenter with 33% whole bunches. Matured for 11 months in French oak (11% new, Francois Frères). Unfined. Vegan friendly.

7960 bottles produced.'
