We still sell Pinot to another organic producer, but we have made a Pinot under\u003cbr\u003eour own label since 2011. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePicked early, we handle the fruit with kid gloves to retain the gorgeous red fruit\u003cbr\u003echaracters and fresh acidity of the grapes. While most of the grapes are gently\u003cbr\u003ecrushed before fermentation, we throw in some whole bunches which helps make\u003cbr\u003ethe colour pop and can add spice and gentle tannin. Post open fermentation the\u003cbr\u003ewine spends some time in bigger (Hogsheads) seasoned oak barrels before bottling. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpat has a nose of sour cherry and florals and a light to medium bodied palate.

This shows that in good years, some mighty impressive wines like this from Pinot can be produced. On the nose, there are fragrances of sour cherry and florals, while the light to medium weight palate is both poised and expressive, with lovely red fruits delivered with a slight savoury truffly character. It’s quite bright and brilliant, with a chalky, slightly grainy texture adding tremendous appeal. It only got a small amount of oak in the maturation stage, so it’s a rather precise expression of the variety. Very appealing.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e - Pinot Noir\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e - Australia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e - South Australia\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSub Region\u003c\/strong\u003e - McLaren Vale\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra\u003c\/strong\u003e - Screwcap\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"#pro_more_desc\" id=\"more_desc_btn\"\u003eAbout the Wine Maker \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/right-arrow_480x480.jpg?v=1647847041\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pro_more_desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"post-intro\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSituated in the foothills of the Southern Mount Lofty Ranges and bound to the west by the pristine waters of the Gulf St Vincent, Battle of Bosworth is in the heart of the McLaren Vale wine region.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"post-intro\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLocated in Willunga, to the south of the McLaren Vale township, Edgehill Vineyard was established in the early 1970s by Peter and Anthea Bosworth.
