  2019 The Feral Fox Pinot Noir, d’Arenberg

  £2095

  Fabulous! This wine sings in the glass. Gently poached strawberry compote with twists of maraschino cherry. Given time in the glass will leave you wanting more. As it opens the palate offers touches of truffle, spice and forest floor adding layers of serious complexity. A bright acid backbone is a guarantee that this wine will develop with attitude and grace.   Classic Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir.

  THE NAME: The feral foxes that inhabit the Adelaide Hills have developed an appetite for grapes and can often be found eating low hanging bunches during vintage. Chester says that he is nor bothered by this as these bushy-tailed critters act as crop thinners and enhance the quality of grapes that are too high for them to reach. It also has the secondary effect of providing a natural source of fertilisation when the laxative nature of the grapes take effect on the normally carnivorous foxes.

  2017 Estate Pinot Noir, Paringa Estate

  £6200

  Another sensational vintage of Estate Pinot Noir from Paringa.  Powerful aromatics of dark cherries and ripe strawberries tinged with hints of violets soar out of the glass. Ensuing are some anise, lightly toasted cedar, forest floor and spice. Delicious dark cherry, strawberry and anise flavours show terrific intensity and drive across the palate. Supple yet fresh in its feel with nuances of forest floor, dried meats, fresh herbs and spicy cedar in the background. Nicely balanced natural acidity and very polished tannins add class. Superb depth and persistence with a very long savoury conclusion.
  Drink over the next 6-8 years.
