- Enticing notes of dark brambly fruits are layered with subtle hints of Turkish spice through to a rich and weighty palate with a lovely, deep garnet color, a silky structure, and a long savory finish.
The Plume is Lake Chalice’s finest Pinot Noir. Twenty per cent of the fruit was co-fermented as whole clusters, imparting layers of complexity. It was 100% matured for 10 months in 225-litre French oak barriques, one-third of which was new, one-third was second use, and one-third was third. The quality of the fruit was so high that this wine was vinified without fining or filtration and was crafted to spend time in a bottle, so it may have natural sediment from its time being bottle-aged.
Dark fruit aromas are layered with savoury characters and delicate spice, which follow through to the beautifully balanced textured palate. It is silky and smooth, with a long, exquisite finish.
