Paul Wallace® Paul Wallace Brave Heart Pinot Noir 2020 – 8360075231529

Grapes for the Paul Wallace Brave Heart Pinot Noir 2020, their eighth vintage, were harvested between 7-14 February 2020 from three different slopes on Wallovale Vineyards (Clone PN115, Guyot pruned). Whole berry fermented in open fermenters, basket pressed and taken to barrel where it completed malolactic fermentation. After 10 months on wood (20% new wood, 45% second-fill, 35% third- and fourth fill), the wine was prepared for bottling. Residual sugar: 2.5g/l. Bottled at 12% on 26 January 2021. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: A complex nose defined by a combination of cherries, wild forest strawberries, watermelon and white pepper, together with a hint of umami.

Palate: The palate reveals red cherry and cranberry, supported by a spicy core, which is further embellished by fine silky tannins imparted by the subtle use of Burgundian oak barriques.

Finish: A lovely, lingering aftertaste so typical of Elgin cool climate Pinot Noirs.
