Note di degustazione
Only 3% whole-bunch fermented. Matured in French oak for 11 months (31% new). Tasted blind. Ample ripeness and oak spice on the nose. Lots of density. Surely New World with that expressive, bold, clarity of fruit. Juicy, fine-grained, soft and delicious. Savoury notes on the finish. Australia again? (RH)

The 2016 Pinot Noir Estate Scallop Shelf comes across as a bit shy in the way it speaks with a hushed voice. Inward and not especially expressive, the 2016 doesn't have either the depth of the Ama not the energy of the Pomarium. Instead, the Scallop Shelf lies somewhere in the middle, with a less clearly defined personality than the other Pinots in the range.
