Rock Ferry

Rock Ferry 3rd Rock Pinot Noir 2013 Central Otago
Fragrant and seductive bouquet with soft beguiling aromas of plush, ripe red berry fruits, soft brown spices and soft vanilla tones with medium+ oak suggestions; quite complex overall. Dry, firm, youthful and balanced; medium tannins -dusty textures, medium/medium+ acidity - ripe and measured; flavours of red cherry and some darker red berry fruits, touch of orange peel; balanced and well made wine. Well suited to many main courses and will cellar well through 2020.
