Block B Pinot Noir 2024
$79.00
Beautifully fragrant and inviting, the bouquet unfolds with aromas of ripe plum and cherry. Beneath the fruit lies a complex layering of tobacco, cacao, and hints of Christmas spice. Clove, cinnamon, and a whisper of nutmeg.
The palate is soft and velvety, delivering a seamless texture. Dark fruit blends effortlessly with savoury undertones and a rich, dessert-like note reminiscent of Black Forest Gateau. Subtle acidity lifts the wine just enough to maintain balance, giving a fresh counterpoint to its plush, rounded character.
About Wine

Cool, damp weather during flowering, ended up reducing the yields. Conditions over the second half of the growing season were near to perfect, which delivered fantastic fruit into the winery.
