Tasting Notes

Thousand Candles Pinot Noir 2023

"Hand picked from a single block of pinot that hasn't seen any herbicides in over 10 years. 50% whole bunches and just a little new oak. A bright crimson ruby red. A superb bouquet of ripe wild strawberry, red cherry, peony and subtle spices. Medium bodied with excellent depth on the elegant, svelte, well-structured and impeccably balanced palate. Very nicely done; a wine that will reward at least another six to eight years in the cellar." 96 Points, Special value, Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion

Together this has created a range of exquisite, handcrafted Estate wines that are fine, pure and delicious. A focus on Pinot Noir, grown with a holistic and biological, minimal intervention approach. These wines are refined and timeless.
