Apsley Gorge Pinot Noir 2023
This Apsley Gorge Pinot Noir is on the savoury spectrum with subtle red Forrest berry fruits. It has a funky character intertwined with a stalky influence, dried herbs, tobacco and wild undergrowth which lead to a firm, drying finish. This wine is still a baby that will continue to integrate and develop in the cellar.
