2005 GALPIN PEAK PINOT NOIR

2005 GALPIN PEAK PINOT NOIR





Vintage 2005 echoes a strong resonance with Burgundy vintage 2002. This was a vintage of great wines. Both white and red! The Galpin Peak is described as tantalizingly attractive. Early tasting reflects confirmation of this vintage being on a par with the great 1997 and 2001 vintages.

The harvest was swift and neat – all complete in eight days. A constant 24 degrees Balling of ripeness was achieved through all parts of the Pinot vineyard. Great natural fruit acid levels and secure clean grapes!

Perhaps the keenest characteristic of this wine is its delicious harmony of sweet raspberry fruit and soft balanced perfumed tannins. There is also a delightful lingering long finish on the wine. A great future is expected, will mature to greater heights!

Alcohol 13,94% Total Acid 5,5 g/L
Residual Sugar 1,5 g/L pH 3,46
