Notes
"Monomeith Vineyard has a storied history (recent) in the natural wine oeuvre with Anton van Klopper an early adopter. He made some distinct and good pinot noirs from there over several years. Gareth Belton now makes the site his quarry, though also has a relatively decent connection to the place through his winemaking endeavours."
It’s cool, it’s succulent, it’s got some slurp to it too. Purple fruits, mulberry, dark cherry, sour and tart pops of pomegranate jewels and a wash of alpine herbs and light white pepper over it all. It goes the distance, it feels svelte and coils serpent-like through the palate. A savoury undertow of brambles and earth also there. It does many, many things, and just feels right and righteous overall. Oh boy."
