Shanteh Wale - Wine Pilot - 'En Garde' Pinot Noir 2025

Adelaide Hills, 93 Points

Raspberries clinging to the bush, thorny rose stems and cranberries. Some sumac spice leads to a wild thrill of crunchy acidity and powdery tannins. There is a silken-like texture that weaves the forged berries across the palate. Some iron and bloody meat savouriness too. This will leave you with the underbrush of autumn leaves and a waterfall cascade of thirst quenching sips. This has the structure to cellar for another 5 years but drink it now and pair with blush lamb loin and Abequina olives and capers.
