- Enticing notes of dark brambly fruits are layered with subtle hints of Turkish spice through to a rich and weighty palate with a lovely, deep garnet color, a silky structure, and a long savory finish.
The Plume is Lake Chalice’s finest Pinot Noir. 20% of the fruit was co-fermented as whole clusters, imparting layers of complexity. It was 100% matured for 10 months in 225-litre French oak barriques, one third of which was new, one third was second use and one third was third use. The quality of the fruit was so high that this wine was vinified without fining or filtration and was crafted with the aim of spending time in bottle, so it may have a natural sediment from its time being bottle-aged.
Dark fruit aromas are layered with savoury characters and delicate spice which follow through to the textured and beautifully balanced palate. Silky and smooth with a long, exquisite finish.
