Wine Details
Four smiling men of different ages stand beneath a tree at the top of a vineyard which sweeps gently down the hill behind them. The man on the left standing with his hands on his hips has grey curly hair, a dark top and dark jeans. In the middle are son and father, the father in a purple polo shirt and beige chinos has his hand on his son's beige shirted shoulder. On the right end another dark haired man in a navy top and jeans, his hand in one pocket.

Découverte Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

Dundee Hills AVA
  • 75cl bottle

A nice and brilliant colour, with an expressive nose of cherry, blackberries, wild mint, fresh liquorice and noble wood. Vibrant and energetic, the palate reveals a subtle balance and elegant floral notes. The finish is mineral driven, expressing the complexity of the Jory soil.

Vineyards

Meaning "Discovery" in French and produced from the second Estate Vineyard owned by Résonance, the Découverte Vineyard Pinot Noir displays the best of the Dundee Hills AVA.

Vintage

The 2015 vintage began with warm weather conditions in the winter that continued throughout spring and summer. Some rain in late August and a return to normal conditions in September gave way to what was an intense growing season. The result was concentrated, balanced fruit.
