Derwent Estate Lime Kiln Pinot Noir 2023

91 POINTS

Gary Walsh - The Wine Front

Sourced from three vineyards; Derwent Estate, one in the Coal River Valley and another 35-year-old dry grown vineyard in the Hillwood area. Quite a heavy bottle for an entry level Pinot Noir. Raspberry, strawberry, some nutty nougat oak and spice. It’s a lively and juicy wine, red fruit, a slightly minty and sappy edge, strawberry and milk chocolate, a dusty feel to tannin, some dried herb, with a fresh finish of good length. Easy-going and good drinking all up.
