Purple Hands Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard 2023 750ml

Freedom Hill is just another word for nothing left to prove. I was sold after one sniff of this savory perfume of blackcap raspberries mixed with notes of earth, spicy vanilla bachelor’s button flowers and a meaty wisp of seared steak. Elevated acidity and fine-grained tannins hoist up flavors of black cherry, orange zest and English breakfast tea. Enjoy 2024-2038. (Cellar Selection)

Varietal

Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world’s most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means ‘black pine’ in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
