The 2023 red wines have a soft juicy character that is very appealing. This vintage of Pinot Noir continues our style of elegance and lots of typical Pinot Noir flavours and aromas: strawberry, cherry and minty/peppery spice. The palate has the same lovely balance: juicy approachable fruit flavours in a fine, elegantly structured wine.
This is a lovely everyday drinking wine. You will enjoy the delicious soft strawberry character of this Pinot Noir.
The 2023 Secret Village Pinot Noir continues our style of elegant and complex lighter bodied Pinot Noir wines. The bouquet shows a mix of fruit and savoury characters: cherry notes, beetroot, orange peel and compost heap. The palate has the same lovely balance: seamlessly intertwined fruit notes and meaty depth. A firm finish suggests this is real food wine which will continue to grow over the next few years.
The name is inspired by the wines made by Maurice O’Shea who was one of Australia’s most respected winemakers and is often referred to as the father of Australia’s modern winemaking.
Reminiscence is a lighter bodied wine with strawberry, raspberry and plum aromas from both the Pinot Noir and Shiraz fruit. A touch of fresh leather and spice adds complexity to the bouquet. The palate is wonderfully soft and round. It this very soft and fruity style that reminded us of those “Burgundy” styles made by Maurice O’Shea. The Shiraz adds a little richness to the mid-palate of this very approachable wine.
