A brilliant fresh green straw colour on release. Aromas complex, perfumed notes of citrus and fresh nectarines balanced by toasty French oak and a savoury cashew character from barrel fermentation. The palate is full-bodied and complex. Stone fruits and honeydew melon flavours lead to a creamier rounded mid-palate of peach, vanilla and roasted nuts, with a lingering crisp finish of grapefruit and spicy French oak.
Packham pear and white peaches carry the nose with a developed but subtle dried apricot lift in the background. Bright acidity with a fuller bodied frame carries the wine and develops into notes of citrus, white peaches and sweet spice. The zesty character in the wine is perfectly matched with lighter meals, white meats and seafood.
“The Harewood Estate Denmark Pinot Noir has been produced from fruit grown in the maritime subregion of Denmark in the Great Southern of Western Australia. The wine shows a light crimson with hints of purple. A lifted nose of red cherry and strawberry is complemented by earthier, mushroom characters and spicy French oak. Vibrant flavours of raspberry and ripe strawberries are balanced by more complex notes of spice and truffle with a creamy mid palate. The wine finishes with hints of mocha and redcurrant acidity supported by gentle tannins and toasty French oak.”
Full body, with good acid presence and structure. Displaying fresh black fruits and rich dark chocolate.
Pure varietal aromas of fresh citrus, subtle distinction of floral characters and a elegant chalky finish. Lime zest and citrus blossom with a crisp mineral edge. An elegant wine, which will develop greater complexity with careful cellaring.
Colour: Very pale straw with glints of gold. Bouquet: Stonefruit and lemon rind. Palate: Apricot fruit notes with a delicious texture and lifted minerality on the finish. Cellaring: With good cellaring conditions this wine will cellar and improve for up to 25 years.
