This Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir presents with a pale, translucent garnet hue. impressive lift and intensity, projecting notes of redcurrant, wild strawberry, rhubarb compote, candied rose petals, and cracked white pepper. The palate delivers taut tension, with vibrant red berry fruit and blood orange zest gaining depth and sweetness as the wine opens. There is impressive concentration without any texture or excess weight, the wine's juicy acidity providing both framework and precision. The finish extends with peppery spice, subtle smoke, and excellent length, supported by fine-grained tannins that remain nearly imperceptible. This represents winemaking with minimal intervention from organically farmed sites, the wine's transparency and nervous energy reflecting Ochota's commitment to natural acidity as the guiding principle for harvest decisions.
