Proof that Martinborough can produce outstanding Pinot capable of aging elegantly. Wim Julicher and his partner Sue Darling have nailed it here with a wine that’s lifted and joyous; it shines with fresh summer berry fruit, raspberry lozenge and a sprinkling of black pepper. A savoury mushroom note creeps in on the finish to remind you that this is a wine that’s seven years old.
