Holm Oak Pinot Noir 2012

From an estate-grown clonal mix; the grapes destemmed and 100% wild-fermented; matured in French oak barriques (30% new) for 11 months. The purple-crimson colour, fragrant bouquet and a seductively supple palate has effortless power to its red and black cherry, spice and plum fruit, the oak balanced. Score - 96.
