2022 Louis Pinot Noir

"Bright, gamey and pretty with a wash of red cherry fruit and hints of game, exotic spice, leaf litter, mushroom risotto, purple flowers and earth. The fruit flow on the palate is light and savoury, stuffed with gamey notes and blooms of mushroomy complexity, finishing airy with a sweep of amaro herbs."
- Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

The Louis range of wines are crafted for everyday enjoyment or for short term cellaring. 100% Estate grown fruit from 25 year old vines is utilised with similar production techniques as for our flagship Freycinet Pinot Noir. To achieve a more fruit driven style for Louis Pinot Noir we mature it for a shorter time in French oak barriques with a smaller percentage of new barrels. 

The 2022 vintage bought lower than average yields and cooler conditions throughout the growing season. Fruit quality was excellent with small bunches and berries providing superb concentration of flavours, fine supple tannins and good acid balance.

The excellent 2022 season reveals itself in this wine through its super concentration of succulent, black cherry and berry flavours, combining seamlessly with subtle truffle nuances, a soft round texture and great length. It’s vibrant flavours, supple mouthfeel and juicy finish give it immediate appeal, and make it ideal for enjoying whenever a delicious wine is called for!
