2022 Rivulet Priory Pinot Noir

“This is young and taut but everything’s in the right place. Flavour-wise it offers spice, undergrowth, macerated cherries, florals and mint, the palate juicy-but-structured, the finish noticeably dry. It creates a meticulous impression. It creates a delicious one. It’s a quality wine.”
- 93+ points. Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

"Quite a light ruby hue with delicate aromas of red cherry, cranberry and raspberry along with fine spice, purple flowers, herbs, mushroom and earth. There is an airy, elegant vibe here with excellent fruit purity, tension and verve. Just delicious, uncluttered enjoyment here ... very nice stuff."
- 93 points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

Handpicked fruit was destemmed to an open fermenter with gentle pump overs to extract fine, soft tannins. 25 days on skins and matured in French oak hogsheads for ten months on fine lees, with 26% new oak.
