Tasting Note

The 2022 Felton Road MacMuir Pinot Noir is a brooding, concentrated expression of Bannockburn, opening with dark cherry, plum, and hints of wild herbs and spice. The nose is lifted by floral notes and subtle earthy undertones, while the palate is rich and structured, showing dark berry fruit layered with cocoa, licorice, and a savoury edge. Fine, grippy tannins bring definition and depth, balanced by fresh acidity and a mineral thread that runs through the wine. Though generous and bold, it retains an elegance and quiet intensity that suggests it will age beautifully over the coming years.
