Black cherry, ripe plum and boysenberry meet thyme and a fine mineral thread in this Parkburn Pinot Noir. Concentrated fruit and plush tannins give it richness, while fresh balance keeps the long finish defined. Try it with duck, lamb or roast vegetables when you want a generous Pinot with depth.

How this wine feels
This has a substantial, plush middle, with ripe fruit filling the mouth. Tannins give it clear shape but feel silky rather than rough. Freshness and a mineral edge keep the richness in balance, so it has both generosity and definition.
The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
How much presence and firmness the wine has in your mouth.
The drying, gripping feeling on your gums.
The fresh, mouth-watering edge of the wine.
Bitter, herbal or savoury character beyond the fruit.
How smooth and rounded the wine feels.
Ripe fruit character. This is not a sugar-sweetness rating.
