Highfield Estate has triumphed at the 2005 Sydney International Wine Competition "Best Pinot Noir of Competition". This wine was handmade utilising old world and gravity winemaking techniques. Open-top fermentation, hand plunging and minimal racking has created a generous and well structured wine with true pinot noir character. The Highfield Pinot Noir is fined with organic, free range egg whites and lightly filtered to retain lively fruit flavours and depth. Over time a harmless deposit may form. Decanting is recommended.
"The Highfield Pinot Noir is deep, dark chocolate red. Richly plum/cherry nose with mellow spice and a touch of fungi. Immediate fruit on impact is cherryish with hints of raspberry. Sleek, suave feeling from the first, the mid palate is fluid and juicy, with tender fruit flavour right through. Mild tannins and a gentle, fruit soaked finish are very satisfying. Very hedonistic".
Colour : Deep garnet and ruby tones with good density.
Aroma : Black plum with hints of cherry. Liquorice and spicy notes.
Palate : Ripe and generous with fruit. A smooth texture and persistent complex finish.
