2023 Timo Mayer Close Planted Pinot Noir

Produced with old vines, that are planted 75cm between each of them. Attractive, brightly fruited with Timo's typical bunchy frame finely integrated into a slightly sweet, soft, mid-palate. Made with 20% whole bunch, and minimal oak influence. Touches of fine chalky tannin, round out a wine that looks a lot less earthy and savoury drivin' than the 2022 vintage. Will open up and gain even more complexity in five or so years. - CWS
