Rockcliffe Third Reef 2018 Pinot Noir
Nestled in the enchanting Denmark region of Western Australia, Rockcliffe Winery is a true testament to the art of winemaking. Surrounded by the lush Karri forest, Rockcliffe’s journey began in 1987 with the planting of Pinot Noir vines. Inspired by the granite cliffs beneath their vineyard, the winery crafts wines that reflect their unique terroir, blending tradition with the distinctive characteristics of their land.
Now, let’s talk about the 2018 Rockcliffe Third Reef Pinot Noir. This Pinot Noir is a gem from a standout vintage. The 2018 season delivered the perfect conditions – a mix of good rain and a long, cool summer that allowed the fruit to ripen slowly and develop intense flavours. The result is a Pinot Noir that shines with lifted aromas of violets, spice, and a hint of plum.
On the palate, this wine is full and textured, offering a delightful mix of cherry and dark berry flavours. It’s supported by silky, fine tannins that are perfectly integrated, leading to a long, elegant finish. You’ll also notice nuances of Bing cherry, anise, and a touch of chinotto, all wrapped in a sensitive layer of creamy oak. The result is a wine that is juicy, resounding, and far from ordinary.
Pair this Pinot Noir with dishes that complement its richness – think roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or a hearty beef stew. It’s also fantastic on its own, perfect for sipping while enjoying a quiet evening. With its complex flavours and elegant finish, this Pinot Noir is a true delight for the senses.
