Mayfield Vineyard Mrs Crawford Pinot Noir 2023


A new wine for the Estate range, this Mayfield Vineyard Mrs Crawford Pinot Noir is a nod to Margaret Crawford who owned the property for 65. Hand-picked fruit, 30% whole bunch, French oak for nine months (20% new).

Generousity on offer here, a succulent red and black fruit mix. Even with minimal air time it starts to open up, offering alternative vistas into the wine's charms.

Cassis, passionfruit, glimpses of citrus oil. It's succulent, fleshy, juicy. Some woodsy and earthy mushroom hints too, set against a fine grain of tannin - the two aspects working in tandem to offer a package where the sum is greater than the individual parts. 93
