Coal Pit
Tiwha Pinot Noir 2019 750ml

Limited Stock

The 2019 growing season produced some exceptional fruit despite being a roller coaster ride. Although warm overall, it started with frosts in early Spring and even a blanketing of snow for Gibbston in November. March and April provided a long steady ripening period, with some late frosts towards the tail end of the harvest. The Tiwha 2019 was hand harvested from vines dating back to 1994 and was the first wine produced under organic conversion.

Dark cherry aromatics with savoury cocoa undertones, underpinned with delicate notes of dried herbs. Structured tannins extend the length of the palate, signifying great ageability for this wine. An elegant yet powerful Pinot Noir, where depth of fruit and tannin abound, balanced with the delightful acidity that our Coal Pit site is known for.

Typically, Coal Pit Pinot Noir peaks around 3-4 years of age, with some secondary character profiles apparent while retaining fruit vibrancy. With careful cellaring, flavours will age gracefully into more tertiary and complex characters of leather and beef tea, around 6-8 years old.

Enjoy with a wide range of food, however this wine matches exceptionally well with game, mushroom and truffle dishes. A broad array of spices an be successfully paired to the wine's flavours - get creative and best of all, enjoy with great company.
