Rockburn Eleven Barrels Parkburn Pinot Noir 2023 Gift Box 750ml
Trust your Taste
Black cherry, ripe plum and thyme give this Parkburn Pinot Noir a dark, generous character. Plush tannins and a fine mineral thread bring texture, while natural freshness balances the rich fruit. Try it with duck, lamb or roast vegetables when you want a Pinot with depth.

How this wine feels
This is a substantial, plush mouthful, with concentrated fruit at its centre. Tannins give the wine shape but feel cushioned rather than rough. Freshness and a mineral edge keep the richness defined through the finish.
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.
Ripe fruit flavours can be present in dry wines. Sweet-Fruit Expression describes fruit character, not residual sugar.
