Tasting notes

Hollick Coonawarra Pinot Noir 2008. Medium-bodied, plum red, blackberry fruit with soft spice, silky smooth palate and long finish.

 

The Hollick winery, cellar door and restaurant complex is established on "Neilson's Block", one of the original John Riddoch Coonawarra selections in the cool South East corner of South Australia. With a vision of a great future for Coonawarra, Ian Hollick purchased 22 hectares of prime terra rossa land in 1974. Driven by quality and a hands-on approach, Hollick wines are made from three core vineyards. Neilson's Block, planted by Ian and Wendy in 1975, the nearby Wilgha vineyard, purchased in 1987 and the Red Ridge vineyard developed in 1998 at Wrattonbully, giving Hollick over 200 acres of vineyard in total.2007 saw Hollick celebrate their 25th Anniversary. Coonawarra soil is the classic Terra Rossa over limestone, providing excellent drainage and the right balance of nutrients, the ideal medium for vine growth and production of high quality fruit.The climate of Coonawarra is markedly influenced by proximity to the coast, creating morning cloud over, which has a profound effect on sunshine hours and hence, fruit development. This moderating effect provides optimum conditions for ripening - long and slow - allowing maximum flavour accumulation and development of fine tannins. Hollick is one of only two producers of Pinot Noir table wine in Coonawarra. Since its first vintage in 1986 Hollick has developed a style which has been widely accepted in Australia and overseas. This 'Pinot Noir' shows a bright plum red colour, with a hint of violet at the rim. Vibrant and primary fruit aromas of black cherries and plums, with hints of spice adding complexity. This is a generously flavoured Pinot Noir with juicy black fruits evident on the palate, with a suggestion of dried flowers. It displays a silky texture and excellent length of flavour. Pinot Noir is a great wine to enhance food, classically paired with duck dishes. Our chef recommends sautéed quail, merlot grapes and braised red cabbage with a pickled walnut dressing.
