The 2024 Pinot Noir serves as a delicate showcase of the "Heartbreak Grape," handled with the extreme care required to preserve its ethereal character. This vintage is an eloquent expression of the Saltire feeling, focusing on transparency of fruit and aromatic complexity. By utilizing a gentle winemaking approach, the 2024 vintage captures the varietal’s signature lightness of touch while maintaining a structural backbone that suggests significant quality and poise.
On the nose, the wine reveals an inviting array of cherry, wild strawberry, and a hint of forest floor. The palate is light-to-medium bodied, characterized by its silken tannins and a bright, cranberry-like acidity that provides exceptional length. It is a candidate for immediate pleasure, especially when paired with roasted duck or a truffle-infused risotto.
