FAMILY RESERVE Pinot Noir

FAMILY RESERVE Pinot Noir

2019 Pinot Noir

Orange, New South Wales

Maroon with scarlet edges. A nose of black cherries and plum, with chocolate and aniseed. A whiff of char and some spice and herbaceousness and charcuterie – there’s a lot going on as it opens up. Powerful mid palate with weight of fruit and structure. Fine tannins and a savoury understory. There’s a steely minerality and a long complex finish. Keeps you salivating.

From $54.00 per 750ml

    The wines of Slow Wine Co are made from grapes from the Johnson family vineyard, Bantry Grove, which has been in the family since 1936 and lies to the south of the Orange wine region, on the rim of the Bathurst Valley. In the mid-1990s, the family tried a new venture on the property that originally ran sheep and cattle, planting just over 12 hectares of vines. It has paid handsome dividends because their wines are impressive, with quite a diverse portfolio – chardonnay, riesling, pinot gris, gewurztraminer, sauvignon blanc, rose, pinot noir and merlot, as well as a couple of blends. This is their flagship pinot and can be ordered online via their Millthorpe cellar door. Aromas of black cherry and dark chocolate, with an earthy char note as well. For a pinot this packs plenty of wallop – raspberry, dark cherry, plum and meaty charcuterie flavours, all in harmony. Aniseed too. It’s powerful and full, but, above all, it retains that essential silky elegance that good pinot demands. It finishes with a whiff of spice.
