Hochkirch Maximus Pinot Noir

20% whole bunches and fermented in small open vats. A deep garnet. Brooding with aromas of dark fruits, forest-floor scents, violets and clove. Unlike the Tarrington Pinot from the same vintage, the palate here is more mineral driven and savoury, with firm yet balanced tannins adding up to a wine that is just hinting at its future potential. There's a lot to like here and it'll be fascinating to watch its evolution over the next six to eight
