Provenance Golden Plains Pinot Noir 2011


Provenance produce a wide array of single vineyard wines but this wine in a blend of all the components that they think aren’t up to the standard.

Provenance Golden Plains Pinot Noir 2011

So easy to drink, this wine is but what is lacks in palate weight it makes up for in down right drinkability. This wine has mouthfeel and a tannin structure with a slight herbal edge that adds to the fun of the wine. The flavours of cherry stones, stalky spice and the smell of a Christmas cake slowly crawl up my tongue.  It is inviting and cerebral at the same time as I sit in a large chair with a Reidel O Pinot Glass in hand, while i'm trying to listen to the story that this wine is whispering at me. This wine is for hardcore Pinot lovers as the stalkiness could put off the Barossa barons but if you are after some loving Pinot style, get you hands around a bottle of this.
