Passion Pinot Noir 2019

Passion Pinot Noir 2019 shows a perfect medium-dark ruby hue. Elegant and complex the bouquet reveals itself after some swirling in the as being divided among slight hints of coffee and light plums, violet and spice aromatics.

It is delicate and sensual with succulent fruit qualities expressing nice red fruit and blueberry character then a very satisfying perfect balance of nice acidity coats the mouth and carries through to a long lingering finish. A nice firmness of tannin controlled by an implacable elegance - this is a lovely, luscious Pinot Noir.

As a food wine it goes without saying that Passion will do justice to strong-flavored meats like venison or pork belly. Also great with feathered game like duck, turkey or goose, braised, in sauce, or simply grilled.

For domesticated dishes, Peking duck or a nice cut of roast veal will be gently enveloped by the close-packed but elegant tannins of this elegant Pinot Noir.
