The Caracol Pinot Noir offers an aromatic profile of lilac, candied fruit and delicate baking spice. On the palate, the wine combines ripe fruit concentration with an elegant floral lift. A bit more eclectic, yet at the same time old-fashioned, think 'Grandma's purse' filled with a delicious mix of old-fashioned candies and cranberry and cherry throat lozenges. Fermentation in small lots and ageing in François Frères barrels enhance both texture and detail, while a modest proportion of whole clusters introduces subtle complexity. The long, cool season provided ample hang time, allowing flavour development without sacrificing freshness.
