Bright medium-deep red-purple, youthful colour; the bouquet is spicy and cherry-like, very clean and clear varietally with a hint of whole-bvunch, a really deliicous fruit-sweet wine. Medium-to full bodied in the pinot spectrum; tannins very present but balanced and supple.

The 2022 release of S+S Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir delivers all the pretty, delicate pristine red wild strawberries it’s known for but with added proportions of blackcurrant, fresh oregano, pink peppercorn and pomegranate. Tannins creep up slowly and though not taking the limelight from the fruit just continue to support and show it off to its full potential.

A delicious Hills pinot, a new breed of unicorn. Rhubarb, fecund strawberry, orange pastille and red licorice notes are compressed into a gentle ball of tension by well placed oak and juicy, sappy freshness. A touch of dill hints at some whole bunches in the mix. The finish, crunchy, finessed and vibrant. Delicious drinking across the early to mid term.
