SPOKE Rudimental Pinot Noir

Ben Glover and Liam Steevenson MW opted for Central Otago fruit for their Spoke project Pinot Noir and its easy to see why when you taste this! The nose shows cherry, cedar and rose-petal notes, with an attractive savoury complexity. The palate has concentrated fruit but delicious mouthwatering acidity. Perfectly balanced.

This wine is wonderfully bright and vibrant with a spicy complexity from integrated French oak. It pairs perfectly with roasted chicken or pork, rare fillet steak, carpaccio, beef wellington. Dishes with morels and other wild mushrooms, such as risotto.

"30% whole bunch, 18 days on skins. Brooding black cherry and blackberry nose with some spice and tar notes. The palate has depth and concentration with rich black fruit character as well as some brighter cherry and redcurrant notes, supported by some structure and a touch of oak. A bold, serious expression of (Central Otago) Pinot Noir." Jamie Goode 94/100

“Pretty with notes of nutmeg, ripe cherries, pomegranates and wet clay. It's medium-bodied with supple, fine tannins." James Suckling (91 Points)
