The 'Gatehouse' Pinot Noir is sourced from the estate's Springfield vineyard and aged for 16 months in a mix of French and American oak barrels. Savoury spices and smokey meats lead to canned cherry and cranberry fruits. Concentrated and structured on the palate, with layers of savoury dark fruits, cedar, liquorice and cocoa powder, lifted by salivating acidity. Dark cherry and prunes last till the long finish.
