Paul Cluver Pinot Noir 2020

The wine has has a lovely luminosity and bright crimson colour.  The nose has delicate earthy aromas combined with red and dark berry flavours.  On the palate these characteristics follow through combining with interesting savoury notes and just a touch of oak on the finish. (2020 - 13% abv)
