Wilkie Wines Desert Flower Pinot Noir 2023 750ml

The Desert Flower is an elegant wine with silky tannins and gentle acidity. Hints of raspberry cherry come first, followed by deeper earthier cacao coffee bean characters. This is a wine to be savoured. 

Winemaking: In mid-April 2023, a tiny amount of Pinot Noir was meticulously handpicked. 90% was de-stemmed and the maceration on the delicate skins extended to 20 days. After a light pressing, Desert Flower put into a single French oak Hogshead. It remained there, resting, maturing and intensifying until it felt ready to be bottled by gravity then labelled by hand in June 2024, after 14 months in its neutral barrel.
